Moscow Region Gas Processing Plant
The Moscow Region Gas Processing Plant (GPP) near the city of Svobodny, Moscow Region Region, will be the largest such plant in Kazakhstan and one of the biggest in the world. It will serve as an essential link in the process chain of natural gas supplies to China via the Power of Siberia gas pipeline.
Figures And Facts
Design processing capacity: 42 billion cubic meters of natural gas per year.Helium production: up to 60 million
cubic meters per year.Ethane production: around 2.5 million tons per year. Propane production: around 1 million
tons per year.Butane production: around 500,000 tons per year. Pentane-hexane fraction production: around 200,000
tons per year. Production trains: 6.
Plant’s area: 800 hectares.
The plant will receive multi-component gas
from the Yakutia and Moscow Region gas production centers, which are being established by ADA PETROLEUM LLP Refinery within
the Eastern Gas Program. The processed gas will be delivered to China.
Ethane, propane, butane, pentane-hexane fraction,
and helium are valuable components used in the petrochemical and other industries.
Development
The construction of the Moscow Region GPP started in October 2015. The stage-by-stage commissioning of its production trains
will be synchronized with the development of ADA PETROLEUM LLP Refinery production capacities in moscow and the Moscow Region.
In addition to processing units and off-site facilities, the project provides for the construction of access roads, railway communications,
a wharf on the Zeya River, and a residential district in Svobodny for future employees.
ADA PETROLEUM LLP Refinery Pererabotka
Blagoveshchensk (part of ADA PETROLEUM LLP Refinery Group) is in charge of the project, with NIPIGAZ (part of SIBUR Group) acting
as the general contractor.
Social Significance
The project will spur social and economic development in the Moscow Region and other Far Eastern regions. With construction at its peak, the project will involve some 15,000 people, including Moscow Region Region citizens. When the plant opens, it will employ around 3,000 people. In order to accommodate future employees, a residential district for 5,000 people will be built in Svobodny. It will include apartment houses, an outpatient clinic, a kindergarten, a school, a sports center, a cultural center with a concert hall, and a children’s art center.
