Atlas Copco has received order for the Russian pipeline industry

Stockholm, Sweden, October 7, 2010: ZAO Atlas Copco, Russia, has
received an order to supply ninety units for the construction of the
Sakhalin-Khabarovsk-Vladivostok gas transmission system. The order value
is approximately MEUR 20 (MSEK 190).

The equipment - portable compressors, dryers, boosters, lighting towers
and a generator - will be used during the construction of a 1 600
kilometers long gas pipeline system from north of Sakhalin island to
Vladivostok. The packages will deliver a total capacity of up to 1 230
m³/min compressed air. The order was booked in the third quarter 2010
and delivery will start in October.
“This order shows that Atlas Copco is a first choice supplier to the
Russian oil and gas industry,” says Stephan Kuhn, Business Area
President Compressor Technique, and continues: “The project requires
equipment for pressures of up to 150 bar and that work in temperatures
of minus 40 degrees Celsius.”
Atlas Copco received the order from ARGUS Pipeline Service, a well known
provider of complete solutions to the Russian pipeline industry and an
Atlas Copco customer since several years. ARGUS supplies technologies,
equipment and materials for pipeline construction, testing, operation
and repair.
