Commissioning of the Sever project is scheduled by Transnefteproduct for the third quarter of 2007. According to the PortNews reporter, it was announced by Phillip Nickonov, Vice President of Transnefteproduct at the International Congress “Oil Terminal” held on Friday in Moscow. According to Nickonov, it is not to influence the volumes of oil to be transported by main pipeline system to the port of Ventspils (Latvia) and to southern ports. We plan to maintain fuel delivery to Ventspils at the level of 6 million tons per year, and to the southern ports - at the level of 3 million tons per year. Thus, the volumes are not to be changed, Nickonov said. He also told about the plans to transport high-quality diesel fuel (low sulfur content) to Primorsk of the Leningrad region. According to Nickonov, Primorsk is to become a free competitive market of high-quality diesel fuel. So new pipeline is to transport additional volumes of high-quality fuel produced at Russia’s refineries. The volumes, which used to be delivered by pipeline to the ports of Baltic countries and southern ports, are not to be changed. They are not to be pumped into new pipeline in order to preserve high quality of fuel delivered to Primorsk.
