Sibur Holding has let a contract to a consortium led by Tecnimont SPA to provide services for Sibur subsidiary Amur GCC LLC’s long-planned Amur gas chemical complex (AGCC). To be built near Svobodny, it is an integrated polyethylene and polypropylene production complex.
As part of the contract, Tecnimont and consortium partners MT Russia LLC, Sinopec Engineering Inc., and Sinopec Engineering Group Co. Ltd. will deliver engineering, procurement, and site services (EPSS) for the AGCC.
AGCC is the downstream expansion of the Amur gas development initiative, scheduled for mechanical completion in 2024. Sibur most recently let a contract to Linde PLC to deliver EPSS for AGCC’s cracker. Under a long-term contract from Gazprom Pererabotka Blagoveshchensk (GPB)’s Amur natural gas processing plant (AGPP), the cracker will receive LPG and ethane fraction feedstock.
As of March 31, construction of AGPP was 59 percent completed, with the first two of six production lines still on schedule for commissioning in 2021 and remaining lines to be consecutively put in operation before yearend 2024. AGPP is scheduled to reach full operational capacity by 2025.
