Russian gas major Gazprom signed a 20-year gas supply with operator RusKhimAlyans for a planned complex in the Gulf of Finland near Ust-Luga seaport, Leningrad Oblast, Russia.
The contract manages supplies of feed gas and sales gas for the planned gas processing, liquefaction, and chemical complex.
Gazprom will supply 45 bcmy of wet natural gas from its Achimov and Valanginian deposits in the Nadym-Pur-Taz region of the Yamal Peninsula to RusKhimAlyans. The gas remaining after processing, including ethane extraction, and liquefied natural gas (LNG) production about 18 bcmy, will go into Russia’s gas transmission system.
The complex’s liquefaction capacity will be 13 million tpa. The complex will also produce as much as 4 million tpy of ethane, and more than 2.2 million tpy of liquefied petroleum gas (LPG).
The complex will export the LNG and LPG produced while the ethane will supply nearby RusGazDobycha subsidiary Baltic Chemical Complex LLC’s (BCC) project.
RusKhimAlyans also entered into an engineering, procurement, and construction (EPC) contract with Nipigaz for the integrated complex’s gas processing.
Later, RusKhimAlyans will later select ЕРС contractors for the liquefaction plant, storage of both raw material and finished products, a marine shipment terminal, and other nonproduction infrastructure.
The company also signed a 20-year contract to supply ethane to BCC.
