Amur gas processing plant project, Russia
Name and Location
Amur gas processing plant (GPP) project, Russia.
Client
Gazprom.
Gazprom Pererabotka Blagoveshchensk, a subsidiary of Gazprom Group, and NIPIgaz formed a partnership in July 2015 to design as well as coordinate equipment and material supplies and the construction management of the Amur GPP.
Project Description
The Amur GPP plant is part of Gazprom’s project to supply Russian gas to China. Feedstock for the plant will be supplied from the Yakutia and Irkutsk gas production centres through the Power of Siberia gas pipeline currently under construction.
The Amur GPP will be built in five phases.
Phase 1 will comprise two ethane and natural-gas liquids (propane, butane, pentane, hexane) extraction and nitrogen rejection units, as well as one helium production unit.
When completed, the Amur GPP will be one of the largest gas processing plants in the world with a capacity of up to 49-billion cubic metres of natural gas a year, 3.4-million-tonnes of ethane, two-million tonnes of liquefied petroleum gas and 60-million cubic metres of helium. Ethane produced at the plant will be transferred to the SIBUR gas chemical facility to be used for producing polyethene.
Value
The project is estimated at $12.7-billion.
Duration
Construction on the project started in October 2015 and is expected to be completed in 2024.
