Russia's largest gas processing plant launched

On June 9, Russia launched the first technological line at the Amur gas processing plant near the city of Svobodny in the Far East. The construction of the enterprise started in 2015, and the “giant” should reach its full capacity by 2025.

It is worth noting that the appearance of the aforementioned GPZ will give a “second life” to the fading city of Svobodny. More than 2500 people will work at the enterprise, in connection with which new housing, communications and infrastructure are already being built in the village.



However, this event will affect not only the development of the Far East region. Thanks to the construction of a giant gas processing plant, Russia will become a major player in the global gas processing market, and this is an extremely important step for our country.

The thing is that the state, which owns such gas reserves, simply must be able to process it, extracting valuable components in the process, and not buy them abroad. On the contrary, we must export gas, having previously "taken out" ethane, propane, butane, helium, etc. from it.

But that's not all. Near the Amur GPP, one of the world's largest gas chemical complexes is being built, where everything "taken out" of the gas will be processed into a polymer, and then into products that are already familiar to us.

At the same time, the enterprise launched in the Far East is only the first sign. A similar complex will soon be built in Ust-Luga. Oil companies also have their own projects.

Thus, Russia is going deeper and deeper into processing, which means that the status of a raw material power will soon be over.
