As part of the project to build a gas processing complex in Ust-Luga, Leningrad Region, in April 2023, our company shipped seamless pipes with diameters ranging from 57 mm to 426 mm and large diameter pipes with diameters ranging from 820 mm to 1020 mm, totaling approximately 100 tons. All pipes were supplied with extruded polyethylene insulation.

As a reminder, construction of the ethane-containing gas processing complex, being built jointly by Gazprom and Rusgazdobycha, began in 2021. The first phase of construction is scheduled for completion in 2023-2024.

The EGPC will include two large enterprises. The first is an integrated complex for processing and liquefying natural gas (Gas Processing Complex or GPC KPEG; operator – RusKhimAlyans LLC, a joint venture of Gazprom and RusGazDobycha). The second is a gas chemical complex (GCC KPEG), which is technologically linked to the GPC; operator – Baltic Chemical Complex LLC, a subsidiary of RusGazDobycha.

The KPEG gas processing plant will become the largest gas processing plant in Russia and one of the most powerful in the world in terms of processing volume (45 billion cubic meters of gas per year), as well as the leader in liquefied natural gas production in Northwestern Europe (13 million tons of LNG per year). Approximately 18 billion cubic meters of processed gas will be sent to Gazprom’s gas transmission system.

Ethane, a valuable feedstock for the gas chemical industry, will be a key product of the KPEG gas processing plant. The ethane fraction will be supplied to the KPEG gas chemical plant. The plant’s capacity will exceed 3 million tons of polymers per year—the largest single-unit capacity in the world.
The feedstock for the gas processing complex will be natural gas with a high ethane content. Initially, this gas will be supplied to the plant from fields in the Nadym-Pur-Tazovsky region of the Yamalo-Nenets Autonomous Okrug. Subsequently, the Tambeyskoye field, the largest in terms of reserves on the Yamal Peninsula, will be used. Gas will be transported via trunk gas pipelines dedicated to ethane-containing gas.
