Transneft will commission the remaining portion of the first stage of its East Siberia – Pacific Ocean (ESPO) oil pipeline between 27 and 29 December 2009.

The first stage of the pipeline runs 2,757 km from Taishet, Irskutsk Region, via Yakutia to Skovorodino in the Amur Region. A 1,100 km section of the first stage was brought online in October 2008.

The second stage of the ESPO will run 2,100 km from Skovoridino to the Pacific coast. Currently the oil is transported by rail from Skovoridino to the port of Kizmino on the Pacific coast.

It is anticipated that the second stage of the ESPO will be brought online in 2014–15.

The entire ESPO pipeline will traverse 4,857 km.
