Ust-Luga liquefied natural gas project, Russia
Name of the Project
Ust-Luga liquefied natural gas (LNG) project.
Location
Baltic seaport of Ust-Luga, Leningrad Oblast, Russia.
Project Owner/s
Gazprom.
Project Description
The project entails the construction of a large-scale complex, which will process ethane-containing gas and produce LNG.
The complex will have the biggest capacity in Russia in terms of gas processing and will be the biggest in north-western Europe in terms of LNG production.
It will process 45-billion cubic metres of gas, produce 13-million tons of LNG, up to 3.8-million tons of ethane fraction, up to 2.4-million tons of LPG, and 200 000 t of pentane-hexane fraction a year.
The gas remaining after the processing (about 19-billion cubic metres) will go into Gazprom’s gas transmission system.
The project will process ethane-containing gas extracted by Gazprom from the Achimov and Valanginian deposits of the Nadym-Pur-Taz region.
The ethane produced at the plant is to be supplied to a high-potential gas chemical facility, a project by RusGazDobycha, which will produce more than three-million tons of polymers a year.
Potential Job Creation
During its most active phase, the construction will involve more than 25 000 specialists, with more than 5 000 permanent jobs to be created to man the operation of the facility.
Capital Expenditure
None stated.
Planned Start/End Date
The first train of the complex is expected to be put into operation in the fourth quarter of 2023 and the second train in the fourth quarter of 2024.
Latest Developments
