Korobkovsky Gas-processing plant
Lokosovsky Gas-processing plant
• Processes associated gas from fields of
LUKOILNizhnevolzhskneft and NGL
• Processes associated gas from the Western Siberia fields
• Marketable products – stripped gas, stable gas naphta
and LPG
• Consumers – petrochemical enterprises, foreign marketing
units of LUKOIL Group and local consumers
• Put into operation in 1966 and entered LUKOIL Group
in 1996
In 2001–2003 external energy supply was overhauled and a
steam unit was launched. In 2005 an associated gas compressor
and dryer unit was put into operation. In 2009 modernization
work at the plant was carried out. In 2010 a long-term program
of measures was designed and approved to keep the Plant in
working order and ensure operating safety.
Perm Gas-processing plant
• Processes associated gas from fields of LUKOILPerm, wet
gas from Perm refinery and NGL from Lokosovsky
Gasprocessing Plant and Perm refinery
• Capacity – 560 mcm per year of gas, 1 million tonnes
per year of NGL
• Marketable products – stripped gas, stable gas naphta,
isopentane, LPG, sodium bisulfite
• Consumers – Perm refinery, Stavrolen, foreign marketing
units of LUKOIL Group and local consumers
• Put into operation in 1969. Entered LUKOIL Group
in 1998
In 2003-2005 the gas fractionation unit was rebuilt to increase
NGL processing capacity, and a sodium bisulfite unit was put
into operation. In 2006-2007 reconstruction of the plant
was carried out, increasing capacity from 550,000 tonnes
to 700,000 tonnes per year of NGL.
In 2008, the Plant carried out optimization of its output
structure, NGL processing capacities increased to 1,000 tonnes
per year. In 2009 the Plant carried out various projects to
help achieve the Company’s target of 95% utilization of
associated gas.
In 2010, installation work was completed on a stenching unit
for propanebutane mixtures. Also work was carried out to
identify pipeline sections in need of replacement.
Project documentation was completed in 2012 for a second
low-temperature condensation and rectification unit,
construction work on the project was carried out and
equipment was supplied.
In 2013, construction of a complex for liquefied gases was
completed.
• Marketable products – stripped gas, NGL, stable gas naphta,
propane
• Consumers – Permneftegazpererabotka (NGL) and local
consumers
• Capacity – 2.140 bcm per year
• Put into operation in 1983. Entered LUKOIL Group in
2002
In 2005 construction of storage tanks with a trestle for lading
of NGL was completed. In 2006 reconstruction of the plant
was completed increasing its annual capacity from 1.0 to
1.9 bcm per year of associated gas, and thanks to further
works the capacity increased to 2.3 bcm per year. The work
included connection of the plant to the Urengoi–Surgut–
Chelyabinsk trunk gas pipeline. In 2009 two cylindrical vertical
flare furnances were brought into operation. In 2010 work on
safety systems was carried out. It included installation
of a gas discharge pipe, modernization of flaring equipment,
and modernization of fire and accident systems.
Plans were reviewed in 2013 for reconstruction of the
Lokosovsky Gas-processing and its product storage facilities
with installation of a loading rack.
Usinsk Gas-processing plant
• Processes associated gas from LUKOIL-Komi fields
• Marketable products – dry and stripped gas, stable gas
naphta and LPG
• Consumers – oil producing enterprises of LUKOIL Group
and local consumers
• Capacity – 504 mcm per year
• Put into operation in 1980. Entered LUKOIL Group
in 2000
In 2004 the plant launched a gas preparation and processing
block, and a gas input station. This enabled the plant to
produce LPG and stable gas naphta. In 2010 work proceeded on
construction of an associated gas compressor unit with annual
capacity of 500 mcm, and on installation of a desulfurization
unit with annual capacity of 100 mcm. A project for
reconstruction of existing processing capacities was carried out
in 2011. It included installation of a gas desulphurization and
dehydration unit, a booster compressor station for sulphurous
gas and reconstruction of the booster compressor station
for sulphur-free gas. Work began in 2012 for reconstruction
of the input compressor station and installation of a gas
desulfurization unit
Fact Book 2013
• Capacity – 450 mcm per year of gas, 161 th. tonnes per
year of NGL
