YEREVAN, JUNE 8, NOYAN TAPAN. A joint consultation on issues of normal
activities of the gas transporting systems of the North Caucasus,
Georgia and Armenia was held in the administrative building of
ArmRusgazprom CJSC with the participation of representatives of
Gazprom OJSC, Gazexport, Kovkaztransgaz and Georgia's gas transporting
companies.
The problem of unforseen fluctuations in the gas consumption regime,
especially in winter, in the gas transporting systems of Georgia
and Armenia was discussed at the consultation. This problem causes
difficulties in securing the agreement-envisaged volumes of gas supply,
as well as in operation of gas pipelines.
According to Alexander Kiriev, head of Gazprom OJSC Central Control
Service Regime Optimation Unit, they are interested in reliability of
gas supply and increasing its security and are ready to assist with
all technical and organizational work in order to reduce the risks
in the system to the minimum and avoid fluctuations of regimes.
Underlining the necessity for multilateral technical agreements
in this issue's regulation, the consultation participants proposed
carrying out preparatory work for making document drafts.
In order to solve the discussed problem, ArmRusgazprom proposed
considering the issue of increasing storage volumes of the Abovian
underground gas depot which will also be used for regulation of the
Georgian gas transporting system's regimes.
