“The flagship project for the construction of the Pakistani Stream gas pipeline is called upon to play an important role in our interaction ... With a throughput capacity of up to 16 billion cubic meters of gas per year,” said Shulginov, quoted by RIA Novosti.
As the agency reminds, the gas pipeline originally bore the name "North - South".
It should connect the infrastructure for receiving liquefied gas in the ports of Karachi and Gwadar in the south of Pakistan with power plants and industrial consumers of gas in the Kasur (Punjab) district in the north of the country.
The length of the pipeline under the project will be over 1.1 thousand km.
