Navy does not allow NOVATEK to gasify Kamchatka

17

On March 31, 2020, NOVATEK Deputy Chairman of the Board Denis Solovyov said that due to the position of the Russian Navy, the company was forced to postpone the gasification of Kamchatka. He stated this during a speech at a plenary meeting of the Federation Council of Russia.

Solovyov said that the company received a letter from the Navy, according to which the military department does not allow NOVATEK to build a terminal for regasification and transshipment of liquefied natural gas (LNG) in Avacha Bay (bay, bay).



A place was chosen for the terminal in Avacha Bay, but there was a letter from the Navy that there was no way to place the floating regasification terminal there

- specified Solovyov.

We are working with the Ministry of Defense, it is being carried out constructively, we are considering the possibility of gasifying their facilities in Kamchatka, too. We do not see any great difficulties

- added Soloviev.

We remind you that by the end of 2022, NOVATEK plans to build a transshipment terminal in Kamchatka in the Bay of Bechevinsky Avachinsky Bay. There they want to load LNG from ice-class gas carriers to ordinary LNG tankers. It was planned to allocate 28 billion rubles from the federal budget for co-financing the project. At the same time, NOVATEK's investments should have exceeded 70 billion rubles. The terminal's capacity should be about 21,7 million tons per year.

It should be added that Avacha Bay (bay, bay) is the ice-free sea "gate" of Kamchatka. Vessels of any displacement can go there. This is the main base for the atomic submarines of the Pacific Fleet. There are the cities of Petropavlovsk-Kamchatsky and Vilyuchinsk. The shores of the bay are heavily indented with numerous bays, in one of which is the base of nuclear submarines.

    Yeah, they don’t want to do anything themselves, the remote areas don’t gasify, and now they have found excuses - there it is! It turns out that the Navy is to blame for everything!

      But does it make sense to pull pipes where from "CHUM" to "CHUM" - a hundred kilometers ?!

    You read the headline, it seems like the harmful naval commanders do not understand their happiness, while Novatek has only thoughts of how to supply gas to every hut of Kamchadals and everything is disinterested. In fact, the company liked the bay, it is comfortable, and here some submarines are "parked". The fleet has its own logic, they do not need all sorts of different gas carriers, and they will be foreign ones, in the "Aspen's Nest". The devil knows what kind of equipment they will secure with them and how many tourists in civilian clothes will be on them.

      Last year, two small gas carriers in the Kerch region in the neutral burned, not sickly. Now imagine what will happen if two huge flames break out, and can they even tear in the lip?

        Also an argument. good And suddenly, God forbid, what accident with a radiation leak? And then the gas carriers are slipping. Yes, and the terminal is a fire hazard thing, and there will be plenty of gas there, in general - it’s still a neighborhood ......
        But I think that in the end they will find a solution that suits everyone, in general, they will agree.

          Grandmothers at the entrance said that there are warehouses. I remember how in the 84th warehouses of the KSF in Severomorsk were torn, the expansion was not small.

    letter from the Navy, according to which the military department does not allow NOVATEK to build a terminal for regasification and transshipment of liquefied natural gas (LNG) in Avacha Bay (bay, bay).

    And what does gasification have to do with it? Even so, it is more like the gasification of anything and anyone, but not Russian territories. what

    This is the main base of the Pacific Fleet.

    That's all, because nefig. stop
    Although in the light of the last 30 years of reforms, it is quite possible that the business will pull the rope and the warriors will have to at least make room or move altogether. feel

    Navy does not allow NOVATEK to gasify Kamchatka

    - Yes, even offhand ...- The Russian Navy is a real necessary state defense structure ...
    - What is NOVATEK ??? - This is another oligarchic fraudulent sham "formation"; which arose for supposedly ... - "the embodiment of the benefits, enrichment and prosperity" of the state ... - There is already one such "embodiment of the benefits and prosperity" of Russia; who is like a crook who has lost state money and funds at roulette ... is Gazprom ...
    - So ... - this is the next, larger swindler and fraudster, which was created by a group of oligarchs and other rich people of Russia ...
    - There is nothing more to add .., except that all sorts of "Gazprom", "Novatek" and other rubbish ... - come and go ... - there will be a lot of these cheating "werewolves-transformers" ... - And the Navy remains always...

    Navy does not allow NOVATEK to gasify Kamchatka

    I read the title and thought that the "harmful" Navy did not allow the "good" Novatek to gasify the houses of Kamchatka residents. And these hucksters, it turns out, just want to build a transshipment base for the LNG trade and they have nothing to do with providing gas to Kamchadals.

    I do not think that they will give the green light to the creation of gas storages next to the naval base.

    Novatekovets swung at the finished piers and terminals, the Oligarchy confused his moshna with the fleet barracks protecting the state treasury ...
    That in Kamchatka, there are no more shores ....
    The "Eooperny" theater is the Wasp's Nest, as its mattresses are called, the naval base of the nuclear submarine is standing still, and Novatek wants to build terminals in pursuit of profit, then let in a foreign civilian tanker fleet, which will buy LNG, and scan-reconnoiter everything that happens around.
    Here it would be good to ask this Novatek gang-watering ....
    And they will allow other companies to extract gas and oil in their field ???
    And who of the business will allow to build - to open a store inside the store to create and lose profits ????

    Open the pictures on your browser and type "Bechevinskaya Bay". Find piers and terminals there .....
    As you already got, "expeditions" and clickers.

    What is the problem of making a floating regasification terminal, LNG plants are also already building floating ... both profitably and conveniently. Again, to get more money out of the budget of the Russian Federation ... it’s bottomless.

    And then what kind of cones provide the Navy with everything necessary for service? What kind of shishs are they building a navy for? Or have you forgotten which country you live in? Let me remind you: about half of the federal budget is money directly related to the export of hydrocarbons. The rest of the economy is somehow dependent on the oil and gas sector. Take off your pink patriotic glasses and think about where the money comes from in the country. There will be no proceeds to the treasury from the sale of gas and oil - and the Navy, as well as the defense capabilities of the country as a whole, will soon be forgotten. Therefore, the Navy and Novatek will have to negotiate. I believe that there people are not stupid and will quickly find a solution that will suit everyone.

    The headline is confusing and suggestive to the reader in the wrong direction. After all, what is Gasification? These are various measures necessary for supplying gas to end consumers. And now, judging by the headline, our valiant Navy is hindering this noble cause. The unfortunate inhabitants of Kamchatka will be left without blue fuel and will not know how lucky it is to have gas in the apartment. However, the article is about a terminal for loading gas carriers, and this, excuse me, is a completely different matter. And what's more,

    We are working with the Ministry of Defense, it is being carried out constructively, we are considering the possibility of gasifying their facilities in Kamchatka, too. We do not see any great difficulties

    Author, you don’t care!

    Bechevinka Bay is located in the northern part of Avacha Bay. Previously, the base of the USSR Navy was located there. Navigation in the bay will be difficult for the passage of an ice-class gas carrier of the Christophe de Margerie project. Transoceanic gas carriers, which are 1,5 times larger than an ice carrier, will be difficult to navigate to this bay. The bottom in this part is represented by underwater rocks "Dragon's Teeth".
    The coast of this bay is not equipped, the nearest infrastructures (electricity, roads) are located 100 km in the south-west. In addition, a group of volcanoes is located nearby. This coastline is dangerous tsunami.
    Avachinsky Bay Avachinsky Bay, directly on the banks of which are located in the northern part of Petropavlovsk-Kamchatsky and the southern part of Vilyuchinsk, is also difficult when entering the bay. Allowed with the passage of sediment no more than 22 meters.
    All berth walls are located within the city with close adjoining residential neighborhoods.
    As a result, when in August 2017 NOVATEK's representatives "studied" the site of the proposed construction of the LNG terminal, they met with the leadership of the Kamchatka Territory. The leadership of the Kamchatka Territory was promoting itself against the background of NOVATEK, they say, they attracted such a company, and how after construction everything will "well" heal ...
    Kamchadals were skeptical about this project.
    Thus, the alleged ban on the military building LNG is nothing more than a good mine with a bad game. Moreover, in Asia there is already a competitor with cash on delivery.

    The beginning is intriguing, Kamchatka is gasified. But everything turned out to be more prosaic, either D. Solovyov didn’t put it that way, or the author mixed up something, it was, in general, not a reel, but simpler.

    We remind you that by the end of 2022, NOVATEK plans to build a transshipment terminal in Kamchatka in the Bay of Bechevinsky Avachinsky Bay. There they want to load LNG from ice-class gas carriers to ordinary LNG tankers.

    And YOU are gasification, gasification, in a simple pass base. People, read carefully the letters.
