(Lukoil) -- An official ceremony of
laying down a time capsule symbolizing the launch of construction phase one of a
gas processing plant (GPP), part of a gas chemical facility (GCF), took place in
Budyonnovsk, Stavropol Territory, today. The GCF will be built on the industrial
site of OOO Stavrolen, an OAO LUKOIL subsidiary.
The facility is expected to be built in several phases. In 2015, it is
planned to commission phase one of the GPP with a capacity of 2 billion cubic
meters per year and a 135 MW unit on the base of a CCGT (combined-cycle gas
turbine) and to upgrade the existing ethylene production unit to convert it to
the processing of liquefied gases.
In 2017, it is planned to
commission phase two of the GPP with a capacity of 4 billion cubic meters per
year, an ethylene production unit with a capacity of 225 thousand tons per year
and a polyethylene production unit with a capacity of 255 thousand tons per
year.
As a result, the GCF will become Russia’s largest polymer
production center. Moreover, commercial gas from the GCF will be delivered to
Gazprom’s transportation system. The expected appropriations to all
budget levels will exceed RUB 10 billion per year.
