SIBUR upgrades Yuzhno-Balyksky GPP.

англ. Мощность завода по приему попутного нефтяного газа в переработку составляет более 3 млрд куб. м в год. ГПЗ производит сухой отбензиненный газ, который направляется в ГТС «Газпрома», и более 1 млн т в год ШФЛУ для переработки в пластики, каучуки и другие продукты.


The upgrade started back in 2014. It covered up to 30% of the plant's capacities and boosted output of natural gas liquids (NGLs) by more than 100 ktpa. Investments in the project totalled around RUB 2.9 bn. The plant has an annual APG (associated petroleum gas) processing capacity of over 3 bcm, preventing greenhouse gas emissions of around 10 mt of CO2 equivalent per year. Yuzhno-Balyksky GPP produces dry stripped gas, which is supplied to Gazprom's gas transportation system, and more than 1 mtpa of NGLs for making plastics, rubbers and other products. The upgrade exercise covered six production units. Their output was raised substantially and is now in line with global best practices. In particular, recovery rate of target APG components reached 98%. It is worth noting that the project was completed by the Russian companies with Russian process equipment and materials: their localisation for the project totalled 99%.

Dmitry Konov, Chairman of SIBUR's Management Board, commented: “SIBUR is consistently enhancing its capacities for processing APG into high value added petrochemicals. The major upgrade of Yuzhno-Balyksky GPP will help add more feedstock for the Russian petrochemical industry while also contributing to addressing environmental challenges in Russia.”

Natalya Komarova, Governor of the Khanty-Mansi Autonomous Area – Yugra, said: Yuzhno-Balyksky GPP is a rapidly growing plant that was among the industry’s pioneers in our region. Today, 40 years later, you are turning a new page in your history. Growing and evolving through its own resources, technology and expertise, this project is a vibrant example of import substitution as a driving force of the Russian economy.
