Transneft ( Russian Транснефть ) is a state-owned Russian company headquartered in Moscow that operates the country's oil pipelines. The company is listed in the RTS Index .
Transneft was founded in 1993 and today has the world's largest pipeline system with a total length of almost 50,000 kilometers. Semjon Weinstock was the head of the company from September 1999 to September 2007 .
The new route of the planned oil pipeline from Eastern Siberia to the Pacific offers the possibility of pumping more oil through the pipeline. Alexei Varlamov, Russian Deputy Minister for Natural Resources , expressed this opinion at the Economic Forum on Lake Baikal . Since the new route runs through oil and gas-rich areas in the north and east of Russia, additional oil and gas volumes can be expected, he explained. The first construction route had to be relocated further away from Lake Baikal for environmental reasons . The first line of the oil pipeline is to be built between Taischet and Skovorodino . Its throughput capacity is planned to be 30 million tons per year. At the same time, an oil terminal is to be built in the Russian Pacific region of Primorye . In the second stage, a line is to be laid from Skoworodino to Kosmino with a throughput capacity of 50 million tons, whereby the throughput of the Taischet-Skovorodino pipeline is to increase to 80 million tons.
In 2007, the company got media coverage due to delivery bottlenecks.
