On Wednesday, RF Prime Minister Vladimir Putin dedicated his time to the issues of crude and oil products export. He participated in launching of the first complex of Sever project in Primorsk and then held a meeting in Ust-Luga dedicated to construction of PBS-2. At the meeting it was decided to make BPS-2 end point not in Primorsk but in Ust-Luga. The system will be used for transportation of both crude and oil products. Thus, the Leningrad region gets a strategic role as the main region to export Russian hydrocarbons though experts are still not sure there will be oil enough to load all the pipelines
