Large petchem complex to be built in European Russia

摘要

A large export-oriented gas-chemical project is to be included in a new industrial cluster planned near St Petersburg, Russia. The plan was unveiled during the recent St Petersburg International Economic Forum (SPIF) by feedstock-rich Gazprom and partners, with completion expected in 2024. The project envisages the construction of an integrated complex for natural gas processing and liquefaction near the seaport of Ust-Luga, St Petersburg region. It will process ethanecontaining gas, which will be supplied via gas pipelines from Gazprom’s deposits in the Nadym- Pur-Taz region. The operator of the complex is RusKhimAlyans, a special-purpose company owned equally by Gazprom and RusGazDobycha (Moscow). A gas chemical facility will be built by RusGazDobycha, another special-purpose company.
