Gazprom Group’s processing segment is made up of gas and gas condensate processing plants, refining capacities of Gazprom neft and companies of OAO Salavatnefteorgsintez.
In the gas processing sector Gazprom Group’s aggregate capacities amount to 52.5 billion m3 of natural gas and 28.8 million t of unstable gas condensate and oil per annum. Gas is processed at six plants: Orenburg Helium Plant, Astrakhan, Orenburg and Sosnogorsk Gas Processing Plants, Surgut Condensate Stabilization Plant, Urengoy Condensate Treatment Center, with the three last-mentioned being part of OOO Gazprom pererabotka.
Oil refining in Gazprom Group is performed by companies of Gazprom neft. The primary company is Omsk Refinery (installed capacity – 19.5 million t per annum), which is one of the largest and most advanced businesses in Russia’s refining sector. The implementation of the Omsk Refinery development program will enable to enhance the quality of its motor gasoline and diesel fuels to the Euro 3 and Euro 4 standards.
Gazprom neft also controls 38.8% of the voting stock in OAO Moscow Refinery (installed capacity – 12.15 million t per annum) and a 50% stake in OAO NGK Slavneft owning two refineries: Yaroslavnefteorgsintez (installed capacity – 15.2 million t) and D.I. Mendeleyev Yaroslavl Refinery (0.3 million t). Gazprom neft has therefore access to their refining capacities.
In December 2008 Gazprom Group integrated the companies of OAO Salavatnefteorgsintez – a leader in Russia’s gas- and petrochemical industry. A controlling stake in OAO Salavatnefteorgsintez was acquired by OOO Gazprom pererabotka. Salavatnefteorgsintez is a unique production facility embracing the full cycle of hydrocarbon feedstock processing, petrochemistry, fertilizer production. The company’s oil and gas condensate processing capacities account for around 7 million t and the range of turned out products is in excess of 140 items. The companies of Salavatnefteorgsintez are linked by raw material, transport and product flows with gas producing and processing subsidiaries of Gazprom.
Gazprom’s gas-chemical sector undergoes expansion as part of the creation of the Novy Urengoy Gas Chemicals Facility, which is planned to produce inter alia 400 thousand t of low density polyethylene per annum after the annual processing of 1.4 million t of gases produced as associated products at the Urengoy Condensate Treatment Plant.
In 2008 Gazprom’s companies processed 33.3 billion m3 of natural and associated gas, 40.1 million t of oil and unstable gas condensate.
In 2008 Gazprom started performing research aimed at developing the Comprehensive Program for APG Utilization in OAO Gazprom System to 2020 and further to 2030. As a result, in 2008 the Company prepared the Formation and Development Concept for the above Program, which defines the prospects for the said activities to 2030, as well as the Paramount Actions securing a no less than 95% increase in APG utilization at Gazprom Group’s fields by 2011.
OAO Gazprom neft has developed and implements the mid-term investment program for 2008-2010 targeted at APG conservation. The most significant project of the Program is the construction together with OAO Sibur Holding of a 1 billion m3/yr gas plant for processing APG from the Yuzhno-Priobskoye oil field.
Yes, it does. In February 2009 OAO Gazprom neft completed the deal to acquire a controlling stake in Serbia’s Naftna Industrija Srbije (NIS) that comprises two refineries at Pancevo and Novi Sad with a total capacity of 7.3 million t of oil per annum.
