Dmitry Grigorenko got acquainted with the activities of the enterprise as part of a working trip to industrial development sites in the Far East
The construction of one of the world’s largest gas processing plants (GPP) is nearing completion in the Amur Region. Deputy Prime Minister – Chief of the Government Staff Dmitry Grigorenko familiarized himself with the enterprise’s activities as part of a working visit to industrial development sites in the Far East.
The Amur GPP is over 90% ready. Once fully operational, the plant will process 42 billion cubic meters of natural gas from Yakutia and the Irkutsk region annually. It is the world’s second largest plant in terms of natural gas processing capacity.
The project implementation became possible due to comprehensive measures of state support. Development institutions provided financing, and special economic regimes created preferences for investors. This approach allowed attracting private capital to a project of strategic importance for the country.
It is expected that the Amur GPP will double Russia’s ethane production after reaching its design capacity. This gas serves as the basis for the production of polymers, which are widely used in construction, automobile manufacturing, furniture and packaging. Thus, the Russian market will be fully supplied with plastics, which Russia currently often purchases abroad.
The country’s helium production is planned to increase more than 10-fold by launching the Amur plant. This rare gas plays a critical role in high-tech industries: it is needed in medicine, scientific research, the production of optical fiber and even quantum computers, where it is used for ultra-low-temperature cooling.
“The Amur Gas Processing Plant is the result of the coordinated work of the Government, development institutions and business. Together, we are solving a critical task – creating a modern production facility for deep gas processing in Russia, which will provide the country with critically important products and take our industry to a new technological level,” said Dmitry Grigorenko.
All necessary infrastructure has been created for the construction and operation of the Amur Gas Processing Plant: 40 km of railways and 27 km of access roads have been laid, a pier has been built on the Zeya River for the delivery of large-sized cargo. Particular attention was paid to creating comfortable conditions for the plant’s employees. A residential microdistrict for 5 thousand people with full social infrastructure is being built near the plant: a school, a kindergarten, a clinic, a sports palace, a community center and a shopping center. Some of the housing has already been put into operation.
The new plant will employ around 5,000 workers. Today, the enterprise already employs over 3,000 people, over 35% of those employed are residents of the Amur Region.
