Background Information
The Amur GPP will become Russia’s largest natural gas processing plant and one of the largest plants globally. It will have a design capacity of 42 billion m3/yr of gas. The plant will also include the world’s largest facility for helium recovery with a capacity of up to 60 million m3/yr of gas. The total area of the Amur GPP will amount to 800 ha.
The Amur GPP is an important link in the process chain of natural gas supplies to China via the Eastern route. Multi-component gas will be supplied to the Plant via the Power of Siberia gas pipeline from the Yakutsk and Irkutsk gas production centres, currently developed by Gazprom as a part of its Eastern gas program.
Gazprom pererabotka Blagoveshchensk, LLC (which is included in the Gazprom Group) is the Investor and Owner of the Amur Gas Processing Plant Project.
Construction is managed by NIPIGAZ, a leading Russian centre for engineering, procurement, logistics and construction management (included in the SIBUR Group).
The construction will reach its peak in 2019, when over 25,000 workers will be mobilized to the site.
