Sibur: New Unit Launched at Nizhnevartovsk Gas Processing Plant
A new oil absorption unit (MAU-3) which separates condensate from associated gas was launched today at the Nizhnevartovsk Gas Processing Plant, which forms part of Yugragazpererabotka
LLC. Renovation work on the unit began in 2007 and has been completed four months ahead of schedule. Total investment in the project was 800 mln roubles.
Following commissioning of the unit the processing capacity will increase by 700 mcm per year to around 4.6 bcm per year of associated gas at the Nizhnevartovsk
GPP. In the longer term there are plans for further expansion of the plant, including construction of a feedstock compressor station at the Nizhnevartovsk GPP, which will boost the plant’s capacity to 5 bcm per year of associated gas by 2010.
“We are working hard on a programme to substantially increase gas processing volumes by building new facilities”, stated SIBUR Vice President Mikhail Karisalov. “These joint investments will enable us to supply Russia’s petrochemicals plants with additional feedstock
volumes”.
“The renovation of the MAU-3 unit means that associated gas that is currently being flared can now be accepted for processing. Completion of this project is one step in the Company’s long-term plan for increasing associated gas utilization in the region to the stipulated 95%”, said Mikhail Gordin, Director of TNK-BP’s Associated Gas Processing Department.
“The renovation of the MAU-3 unit in 2008 and the processing unit #1 at the Belozerniy GPP will allow to exceed gas processing target of Yugragazpererabotka in 2008 by more than 500 mcm. The MAU-3 launch will have work relief at the facility”, Alexander Teplyakov, General Director of Yugragazpererabotka LLC
noted.
