On Yamal imported equipment for the plant "Yamal LNG"

On Yamal imported equipment for 2 and 3 lines of the country's largest plant for the liquefaction of natural gas. The latest installation is delivered on ships. Meanwhile, phase 1 of the plant is ready to run.

Short polar day. In the port of Sabetta in the North of the Yamal - work in full swing. The ship breaking through the ice of the Northern seas, brought the equipment for the plant for the liquefaction of natural gas. This huge installation - the heat exchanger.

Single heat exchanger, which came Ready last year, is set to 1 processing line of the plant "Yamal LNG". The gas will be accomplished in a giant cryo-chamber.

Huge gas reserves in the North of Yamal Peninsula was explored in the 70 years. However, the development of mestorozhdeniya began only in the early 2000s. In the Arctic built camp, ports and airports, and power plants. On the way, and the 1st phase of the liquefaction plant fuel. More than 1 trillion cubic meters of natural gas is in the depths of the South-Tambeyskoye field. Remove the fuel on the surface hard. To drill wells necessary in the conditions of permafrost. The depth of each 3 to 4 km. To the frozen ground rip special drilling rigs designed to operate in polar conditions. Well do Kustov way. At a certain depth the main trunk diverges in different directions.

Readiness 1 stage of the plant "Yamal LNG" is almost 90%. The capacity will be 5.5 tonnes of liquefied fuel per year. It is planned that 1 tanker gas will depart from the port of Sabetta in the next year, after the commissioning of the production line. Almost all of the fuel that will be produced in the North of Yamal has already been reserved for buyers.
