PSI Awarded Contract from the OAO Gazprom for Gas Transport in the
Northwest Region of Russia
Control system software for dispatching centres and compressor stations

PSI has been contracted by the system integrator OAO Gazprom
avtomatizatsiya with the delivery of the software for a total of 12 control
systems and control system expansions for dispatching centres and
compressor stations in the north-western region of Russia. The Gazprom
subsidiaries Gazprom Transgaz St. Petersburg and Gazprom Transgaz Ukhta are
responsible for gas transportation in this region. PSI has already supplied
control systems for them as part of the strategic projects SEG (Nord-Stream
onshore section on the Russian mainland) and Bovanenkovo-Ukhta-Torshok.
With this important contract Gazprom reinforces its decision to employ PSI
control systems for new investments and suitable replacement investments in
its gas transportation business.

The order consists of the first delivery stage for the planned replacement
investments in the framework of migration projects for existing gas
transportation pipelines of the Gazprom subsidiaries Gazprom Transgaz St.
Petersburg and Gazprom Transgaz Ukhta, for which the central dispatching
systems previously delivered and in production are being expanded in St.
Petersburg und Ukhta.

With the use of PSIcontrol V7, Gazprom aims to develop a highly efficient,
hierarchically structured control system for the control of the gas
transportation in the vicinity of strategically important gas
transportation lines. PSIcontrol V7 is intended for both the implementation
of cross-magisterial as well as the local control systems at the level
below these. As part of that, PSI already obtained and implemented the
orders for the gas transportation pipelines Bovanenko-Uchta-Torshok and SEG
previously mentioned, but also two orders for the pipeline
Sachalin-Khabarovsk-Vladivostok with a regional dispatching centre in
Khabarovsk.

Gazprom avtomatizatsiya is the general contractor and responsible system
integrator for the implementation of the projects based on PSI software.
PSI also supports Gazprom avtomatizatsiya in the concept process for the
development of the system solutions and assumes the training of the
