Vankorneft to deliver 320,000 tons of cargoes to Vankor group of oilfields using winter roads
27 January 2014
The Rosneft’s subsidiary Vankorneft has started delivering cargoes to the production sites of the Vankorskoye, Suzunskoye and Tagulskoye fields using winter roads, with plans to ship more than 320,000 tons of payloads this winter.
The main bulk of loads will go to Vankor, and about 20,000 tons to Suzunsk and Tagulsk, where Vankorneft is just starting operations. The items for delivery to Vankor include production equipment, fuel and lubricants, reinforced concrete units and construction materials. The transport program provides for 1,400 vehicles to be used, with about 6,000 tons a day to be on the move in different directions in the peak period in February and March.
The company built five winter roads, two ice bridges and two side roads along trunk pipelines to put into effect its plans of cargo transportation. The total span of the winter road network exceeds 1,200 km.
The winter roads in tundra link the town of Igarka in the Krasnoyarsk region with Novy Urengoy (the Yamal-Nenets autonomous district, Tyumen region) from December to May. In addition to industry-related missions, they are engaged vastly into day-to-day transportation of goods and food from “mainland” to Igarka and other locations further to the North.
