KRASNODAR TERRITORY, RUSSIA - OCTOBER 22, 2021: A gas-measuring unit at the Russkaya Compressor Station of the TurkStream gas pipeline in Anapa District of Krasnodar Territory in southern Russia. The initial point of gas shipment through the TurkStream, the Russkaya Compressor Station is one of the most powerful in the world. The station’s power capacity allows to create enough gas pressure to transport gas for over 900 km without any additional technical facilities. The station is equipped with seven 32-MWatt gas pumping units; the projected power capacity of 244 MWatt allows to create the output gas pressure of 28.45 MPa. Dmitry Feoktistov/TASS
