Belozerny GPP

The Belozerny GPP was commissioned in 1980 and was designed to process 4.28 bcm of associated gas per year. The plant consists of two trains of 2.14 bcm/yr each.

Most of the gas is supplied by TNK-BP oil & gas production units. The plant processes the gas by low-temperature condensation with a turboexpander. Each train consists of a number of process units for compression, cooling and dehydration of the crude gas, compression of the stripped gas and propane refrigeration.

The end products are: dry stripped gas, which is pumped into the Parabel - Kuzbasss gas line and to the Nizhnevartovsk GRES; and NGLs, which are fed into product pipelines.

The Varyegan compressor station consists of three associated gas compression trains with a total capacity of 8.4 bcm/yr (1st train – 3.6 bcm; 2nd – 2.4 bcm; 3rd – 2.4 bcm). These were brought on stream between 1984 and 1991. The Varyegan CS was built to help transport gas to the Nizhnevartovsk and Belozerny GPCs.

The Varyegan Gas Processing Enterprise consists of two trains of compressor stations.

Station No.2 can receive and compress 2.4 bcm of associated gas per year and is designed to pump the gas from the Varyegan, North Varyegan and Tagrin groups of fields to CS-3 or to the Belozernyy or Nizhnevartovsky GPPs.

Varyegan’s compressor station No.3 can receive and compress 2.4 bcm of associated gas per year and is designed to handle gas from the North Varyegan field. It also provides booster compression on gas from CS-2 and processes gas from the Varyegan and Tagrin fields when CS-2 is out of operation. The compressed gas is fed into an adsorption gas drying unit and to a low temperature condensation unit for partial stripping (extraction of stable natural gas gasoline), before the dried gas is pumped to the Belozerny and Nizhnevartovsk GPPs and local consumers.

Commissioning dates: CS-2 – 1987; CS-3 - 1990.

The Gas Compression and Transmission Shop is designed to compress and dry associated gas before pumping it to the Nizhnevartosk and Belozernyy gas processing plants. The gas reception station can handle 2.1 bcm/year.
