Kazan hosts a petrochemical forum

On the sidelines of the Tatarstan Petrochemical Forum, SIBUR’s top management spoke about the Company’s environmental and digital projects.

From 31 August to 2 September, Kazan hosted the Tatarstan Petrochemical Forum, one of the largest international events in the Russian oil and gas industry’s calendar. The event was attended by industry representatives from the USA, Canada, France, Italy, Germany and many other countries, with more than 5,000 attendees in total. The forum brought together four major industry exhibitions and featured stands from over 150 Russian enterprises.

SIBUR used the exhibition and its stand to discuss digitalisation and sustainable development, as well as synergy potential in the context of the merger with TAIF’s petrochemical assets

SIBUR also took part in the forum, using the exhibition and its stand to discuss digitalisation and sustainable development in terms of the eco-friendliness of its products, as well as synergy potential in the context of the potential merger with TAIF’s petrochemical assets. As noted by Alexander Petrov, Member of the Management Board – Managing Director at SIBUR, the Company offers enterprises in Tatarstan a second opinion, resources and options to accelerate their business processes. In particular, SIBUR has been sharing its expertise with Nizhnekamskneftekhim on the EP-600 steam cracking complex project.

Igor Klimov, Member of the Management Board – Managing Director at SIBUR, explained to Rustam Minnikhanov, President of Tartarstan, that local manufacturers of metal structures are among the main suppliers for the Amur Gas Chemical Complex construction project, with the volume of supplies of metal structures by Tatar contractors topping 10 thousand tonnes and covering about 8% of the construction project’s total needs.

Mr Klimov also reported on the Company’s projects in environmental protection, technology innovation and digital manufacturing. He highlighted that the development of production technologies is a key growth driver for SIBUR. SIBUR employs big data scientists and robotics specialists, who are responsible for, among other things, building and improving the predictive operational risk analysis system, which prevents problems from cropping up in production.
