In Gazprom's development project nomenclature the pipeline consists of four sections, Bovanenkovo–Ukhta (1,200 km or 750 mi),[2] Ukhta–Torzhok (970 km or 600 mi),[3] the western section from Torzhok also confusingly named Yamal–Europe (1,660 km or 1,030 mi),[4] and the partly parallel SRTO–Torzhok branch section (2,200 km or 1,400 mi).[5]
