(Plastemart) -- Mott MacDonald has
completed an international environmental and social impact assessment (ESIA) and
environmental and social management plan for the biggest gas and petrochemical
project being developed by Uz-Kor Gas Chemical in the Commonwealth of
Independent States (former Soviet Union). The Surgil Gas and Petrochemical
Complex project in Karakalpakstan will include the development of the Surgil gas
field and a state-of-the-art gas chemical complex that will produce natural gas
and petrochemical products such as high density polyethylene (HDPE) and high
density polypropylene (HDPP). The facilities will include new 115km pipelines
for gas and condensate. Mott MacDonald has been instrumental in supporting
Uz-Kor with meeting international environmental and social requirements as it
seeks to obtain financing for this USD 4.1 bln project from the Asia Development
Bank (ADB) and a group of commercial lenders being led by ING.
