+++ Description

• The Kirinskoye field is located in the Sea of Okhotsk, 28 kilometers off the shore
• The key element of the system is placed at a depth of 90 meters and comprised of several high-pressure pipelines fixed to a single base and connected under a specific pattern.
• The manifold gathers the produced gas, which is then conveyed via a subsea pipeline to the Onshore Processing Facility (OPF).
• After being treated at the OPF, the gas is transferred via a 139-kilometer gas pipeline to the main compressor station of the Sakhalin – Khabarovsk – Vladivostok gas transmission system.
