Gazprom and Ruhrgas will pool their know-how in pipeline system control optimization. For this
cooperation projekt, Gazprom selected a section of the Volgotransgaz pipeline system as a pilot
project. Project partners include the Gazprom subsidiary Volgotransgaz and the All-Russian
Scientific Research Institute of Natural Gases and Gas Technology (VNIIGAZ) and Ruhrgas AG.
Volgotransgaz is the operator of a transmission system in the Nizni Novgorod area. As a research
institute, VNIIGAZ can draw on comprehensive scientific know--how in many areas of the gas
industry. Ruhrgas - as one of the leading European gas companies - modelled the transportation
system of Volgotransgaz and has made calculation for optimized operation of this system. For this
purpose, software already used at Ruhrgas has been adapted to meet specific Volgotransgaz system
requirements. The optimization software is provided by LIWACOM Informationstechnik GmbH, a Ruhrgas
affiliate.

a) Please ensure that detailed contact information for all organizations mentioned is reported under
section A.2 above.
B. Governmental acceptance, approval or endorsement
Bearing in mind that all activities implemented jointly under this pilot phase require prior acceptance,
approval or endorsement by the Governments of the Parties participating in these activities, which shall be
shown as follows:
(a) In the case of joint reporting, the report is submitted by the designated national authority of one
participating Party with the concurrence of all other participating Parties as evidenced by attached
letters issued by the relevant national authorities;
(b) In the case of separate reporting, the reports are submitted separately by the designated national
authority of each and every participating Party. Information will only be compiled once reports have been
received from all participating Parties.
B. 1) For the activity:
* First report and joint reporting: please add copies of letters of endorsement by each designated national
authority of Parties involved in the activity.
* Subsequent reports:
Activity was:
_ suspended
_ terminated earlier
Describe:

_Yes, forward copy of agreement/endorsement by the designated national authorities involved
_ No

C. Compatibility with and supportiveness of national economic development and socioSeconomic and
environment priorities and strategies
|
Describe (to the extent possible) how the activity is compatible with and supportive of national
economic development and socioSeconomic and environment priorities and strategies

|
CO2 emission reduction and energy saving are the targets of the project which are compatible with
the climate protection policy of the German and Russian government.

Whenever possible, quantitative information should be provided. Failing that, a qualitative description
should be given. If quantitative information becomes available, it could be submitted using the update(s).

E. Calculation of the contribution of activities implemented jointly projects that bring about real,
measurable and long-term environmental benefits related to the mitigation of climate change that would not
have occurred in the absence of such activities
E. 1) Estimated emissions without the activity (project baseline):
Description of the baseline or reference scenario, including methodologies applied: To drive the above
mentioned compressor systems, about 3 bill. m³ of natural gas are needed every year. Combustion of 1
m³ of gas results in roughly 2 kg of CO2 emissions.
E. 2) Estimated emissions with the activity:
Description of the scenario, including methodologies applied:
Optimization results in reduced fuel gas consumption and lower greenhouse gas emissions. In addition,
decreasing compressor operating hours leads to less maintenance work and extended service life.
The aim is to optimize compressor unit use with an appropriate allocation of flows to the parallel lines in
the Uzhgorod corridor. Calculations have shown that on avarage, a total of some 2,5% or 75 mill. m³ of
fuel gas can be saved annually. The "SIMONE" software program is intended to make full use of
this realistic potential. This should be the minimum of reduction.
The results of the optimization of the transportation operating system of Wolgotransgas can be summarised
as follows:
|
fuel gas savings:
|
75 million m³/a
|
|
reduction in unit operating hours:
|
35,000 h/a
|
|
reduction of environmental impact (cut in CO2 emissions):
|
150,000 t/a
|
|
total savings in million USD/a:
|
approx. 5
