Gas and gas condensate processing by Gazprom’s gas processing and production
subsidiaries
In 2014, Gazprom
launched
the complete cycle
of liquefied helium
production.
In 2014, OAO Gazprom’s gas processing and production subsidiaries refined 30.0 bcm of natural
gas (down 3.5% y-o-y), 16.4 mm tonnes of crude oil and unstable gas condensate (up 1.9%
y-o-y).
The decrease in gas refining volumes against 2013 was caused by declining gas production
at the fields feeding the Orenburg GPP and Sosnogorsk GPP (Orenburgskoye and Vuktylskoye
OGCFs).
To boost utilisation of gas refining capacities at the Sosnogorsk GPP, the Group and
OAO LUKOIL are running a joint project for processing APG from OAO LUKOIL’s northern group of
fields. In the reporting year, approvals were issued for the process chart of transportation, intake,
treatment and refining of associated petroleum gas. Preparations were also carried out for the
construction and expansion of the necessary gas transportation facilities.
Unstable condensate refining volumes grew due to increased liquid hydrocarbons production
in in the achimovsk formation of the Urengoyskoye OGCF.
Measures were taken in the reporting year to diversify the product mix and improve product
quality.
The Astrakhan GPP implemented proprietary technological solutions to start production of
winter diesel fuel. Achieving rated capacity at the new gasoline hydrotreater enables the plant to
start producing Euro 4 diesel fuel, while the newly commissioned gasoline fraction isomerisation
unit can start producing Euro 5 Premium Euro 95 motor gasoline.
The Orenburg GPP began producing liquefied helium, while the Surgut Condensate Stabilisation
Plant (CSP) launched the production of process propane-butane.
Oil refining and petrochemistry at Gazprom neft Group’s facilities
In 2014, Gazprom neft Group refined 43.5 mm tonnes of oil and stable gas condensate (up 2.1%
y-o-y).
The increase resulted from a rise in refining output by the Omsk Refinery, where the primary
refining unit had completed scheduled maintenance in Q3 2013. Other factors included the lifting
of restrictions on dark oil product shipments, a larger share of gas condensate refining, and a
respective decline in the share of dark oil products.
Upgrades of production facilities led to increased Euro 5 gasoline and diesel fuel output.
Jointly with its Russian and foreign partners, Gazprom neft carried out projects for the production
of certain products with high added value, i.e. modified bitumens and polypropylene.
The Moscow Refinery started pilot operation of Russia’s first unit for the production of
next-generation polymer-modified bitumens under the G-Way Styrelf brand. The unit, built
by a joint venture of Gazprom neft and the French-based Total, is designed to produce
60 thousand tonnes of polymer-modified bitumens and 7 thousand tonnes of bitumen emulsions
annually.
