The RN-Vankor company (part of the oil and gas production complex of NK Rosneft) has commissioned a new gas turbine power plant (GTPP) “Polyarnaya” with a capacity of 150 MW at the Vankor field.

The complex will meet the needs of new facilities of the Vankor cluster of fields as part of the implementation of the Vostok Oil project.

The power plant uses associated petroleum gas (APG) produced at the field as fuel, the useful use of which at Vankor today reaches almost 100%. At the same time, about 13% of the gas is sent to energy facilities. The Polyarnaya GTES will consume more than 270 million cubic meters of associated petroleum gas per year, which has undergone preliminary purification, to generate energy as fuel.

During the construction of the new power plant, a new engineering and technical solution was used for the first time in the industry: vibration isolators were installed between the foundation and the gas turbine units, which reduce the vibration load. This made it possible to significantly increase the service life of the plant without repairs.

The control systems of the GTES are of domestic production. The successful experience of import substitution of equipment and technologies is planned to be implemented in the design and construction of other energy infrastructure facilities of the Vostok Oil project.

The implementation of the project for the construction of the Polyarnaya GTES, including the development of solutions for import substitution of main equipment units, was carried out by the Company in close cooperation with the enterprises of the Inter RAO Group, as well as with the branches of the System Operator of the Unified Energy System, which provided a range of works for the introduction of the Polyarnaya GTES into the country’s energy system.

Reference:

RN-Vankor LLC, a subsidiary of Rosneft Oil Company, is the operator of the Vostok Oil project. It includes the Vankor cluster fields (Vankorskoye, Suzunskoye, Tagulskoye and Lodochnoye), as well as the Payakhsky cluster, located in the north of Krasnoyarsk Krai.

Complete utilization of associated petroleum gas, which is used, among other things, to generate electricity at the gas turbine power plant, will provide the Vostok Oil project with a carbon footprint 75% lower than that of other new large oil projects in the world.
