The construction involves a modular type of installation, which seriously reduces the financial costs of construction and determines the project implementation schedule. This project will contain 3 natural gas liquefaction trains with a capacity of 5.5 million tons each year. The first launch is planned for 2017. Taking into account the low average Arctic temperatures, much less specific energy is required for the gas liquefaction process, this makes it possible to achieve large volumes of LNG production compared to projects located in the South and using similar equipment. After the plant starts up hydrocarbon production the mixture from the field's wells will be transported through gas collection networks to a single complex for gas preparation and liquefaction. Next, at the entrance of the complex there will be a separation process. The input structures include installations that regenerate methanol and stabilize condensate. The separated natural gas will go to technological lines where liquefaction and purification from acid gases and methanol will take place, as well as drying and removal of mercury, extraction of ethane, propane and other heavy hydrocarbons. Next, the purified natural gas will be sent for cooling and liquefaction. The LNG will be further stored in closed isothermal tanks. It is planned to build 4 reservoirs with a capacity of 160,000 cubic meters. m. each. Jobs at the LNG plant IN YAMAL vacancies - read on.

Story

In May 2011, a competition for the basic design of the plant (English: front end engineering & design (FEED)), won by Chicago Bridge & Iron Company (CB&I). The project was supposed to be ready in the first quarter of 2012. In March 2013, NIPIgazpererabotka completed the adaptation of the basic design to Russian rules and regulations and developed a package of design documentation for the LNG plant to undergo state examination.

On September 17, 2012, Yamal LNG OJSC signed a license agreement with the chemical concern BASF on the use of BASF-owned natural gas purification technology at the projected plant. Oase».

In April 2013, Yamal LNG OJSC signed an agreement with Yamgaz SNC, a consortium of Technip (France) and JGC Corp. (Japan) for the design, supply of equipment, materials and components, construction and commissioning (EPC contract) of a complex for the treatment and liquefaction of natural gas based on the South Tambeyskoye field.

In September 2013, Yamal LNG OJSC entered into a contract with Siemens for the supply of elements of a thermal power plant, which should supply Yamal LNG with electricity and heat. Siemens was to manufacture, deliver, install and commission eight gas turbines and other equipment.

In October 2013, Yamgaz SNC chose the American General Electric as a supplier of the main turbocompressor equipment for three lines of the LNG plant. The contract amount is $600 million.

On December 18, 2013, NOVATEK announced that the Board of Directors of OJSC Yamal LNG accepted final investment decision(OIR) for the project. The implementation of the project involved, in addition to the construction of an LNG production plant, the creation of a transport infrastructure, including a seaport and an airport near the village of Sabetta, as well as a transshipment base in the Belgian Zeebrugge for the delivery of gas to the countries of the Asia-Pacific region during periods of lack of navigation along the Northern Sea Route. At the time of acceptance of the IIR, the main tenders were held within the project and key contracts were concluded. Orders were also placed for equipment with long lead times (cryogenic heat exchangers, gas turbines, compressors for liquefaction lines); The first 8 production wells were drilled. The site for the construction of the plant was prepared, the construction of a pile foundation for LNG tanks began, the construction of a seaport and airport began, and more than 70% of the LNG volumes planned for production were contracted.

In January 2014, Yamgaz SNC signed a contract with the French Vinci for the construction of four LNG storage facilities with a capacity of 160 thousand m³ each.

In January 2014, Yamgaz SNC entered into a contract with Japan's Yokogawa Electric to supply integrated control and safety systems (ICSS) for the project.

In July 2014, Yamgaz SNC entered into a contract with the Chinese Offshore Oil Engineering Co. (COOEC) for the manufacture of key gas liquefaction equipment worth $1.623 billion.

On April 27, 2016, the first two condensing modules weighing 1000 tons, manufactured by Wuchang Shipbuilding Industry - the largest and heaviest in the project - were sent from the Chinese port of Qingdao to the port of Sabetta on a special semi-submersible vessel. In total, 36 modules with a total weight of 180 thousand tons were built in Qingdao. The total weight of equipment for the plant is estimated at 650 thousand tons, of which 150 thousand tons are elements of overpasses (360 modules), and 500 thousand tons are technological modules (111 PC) .
On September 13, 2017, the last modules for the plant arrived.

By the time the first line was launched, to provide it with electricity, four of the eight planned SGT-800 gas turbine units with a capacity of 47 MW each, manufactured by Siemens, were put into operation at the power plant serving the project.

On November 29, 2017, Yamal LNG OJSC received state permission to commission the main technological facilities of the first stage of the LNG plant.

Investments in the project

At the time the management of Yamal LNG OJSC made the final investment decision (December 8, 2013), the capital investments of the project were estimated at 26.9 billion US dollars. Shareholder investments in the Project before the adoption of the IIR amounted to $2.6 billion.

Contracts for LNG supplies to Europe are based on pricing based, on the one hand, on the British trading platform National Balance Point, and on the other hand, on contract prices linked to the level of crude oil prices (Groningen principle). The contract with CNPC is tied to the so-called “Japanese Crude Cocktail” (JCC), and is calculated using the formula 12.67% × JCC + $0.26.

Fleet

On July 4, 2013, it became known that the competition for the production of sixteen ice-class LNG tankers to service the Yamal LNG project, in which seven leading shipyards in the world participated, was won by the Korean Daewoo Shipbuilding & Marine Engineering.

A slot reservation agreement was signed with this company, which includes options for construction, launching, equipment, equipment and delivery of Yamalmax class vessels, as well as establishing the preliminary cost of the vessels, the schedule for their production and delivery. The agreement provided for the transfer of the right to finance and purchase tankers to a third party - carrier companies selected by Yamal LNG. The fee for reserving shipbuilding capacity amounted to $5.6 billion.

On April 23, 2014, Yamal LNG OJSC published a shortlist of shipping companies that will service the LNG production plant. It included Sovcomflot, Mitsui and Teekay LNG. Each of the companies had to build a fleet for transporting gas: Sovcomflot - six ships, Mitsui - four, TeekayLNG - six. The cost of one vessel is about $340 million ($5.5 billion for all 16 LNG tankers).

In August 2015, due to the fact that Sovcomflot had difficulties with financing, Yamal LNG subsidiary Yamal Trade Singapore assigned the rights to five of the six LNG tankers previously intended for Sovcomflot to a Greek shipping company Dynagas. The transaction amount was $1.5 billion. At the same time, long-term charter agreements for these tankers were signed.

The first vessel of the series, the gas carrier Christophe de Margerie, was built in March 2017 and delivered to Sovcomflot. By January 2018, the fleet approved to work with Yamal LNG was replenished with three more vessels: Boris Vilkitsky, Fedor Litke (both owned by the Greek Dynagas) and Eduard Toll, owned by the Canadian Teekay.

Owners

In June 2005, a blocking stake in Tambeyneftegaz LLC (25.1%) was sold by NOVATEK to a subsidiary of Gazprombank - Gazprombank-invest LLC.

In July 2005, the license was reissued to Yamal LNG OJSC, created on April 7, 2005, in which Tambeyneftegaz owned 51%, and the British Tambeigas Holdings Ltd, controlled by Nikolai Bogachev, owned 49%. The Gazprom group initiated legal investigations into the illegality of re-issuing the license, and Bogachev began negotiations on the sale of the business.

In November 2006, Bogachev sold Tambeyneftegaz LLC and Yamal LNG OJSC. Gazprombank-Invest bought 25% plus one share of Yamal LNG OJSC for $5 million. The remaining shares (75% minus one share of Yamal LNG OJSC and Tambeyneftegaz) were purchased by Alisher Usmanov’s structures for $350–360 million.

In May 2009, 51% of the shares of Yamal LNG OJSC were purchased from Timchenko's structures of NOVATEK OJSC for $650 million and 13.13% of the shares of NOVATEK.

In July 2010, NOVATEK became the owner of 100% of the shares of Tambeyneftegaz LLC. The transaction amount was $10 million (In October 2014, Tambeyneftegaz LLC was liquidated).

In September 2011, NOVATEK's share in the authorized capital of Yamal LNG JSC was increased to 100%, but already in October it was reduced to 80% as a result of the sale of a 20% share to Total.

In September 2013, NOVATEK and CNPC signed a binding agreement on the entry of the Chinese company into the project through the sale of 20% of Yamal LNG to CNPC.

In November 2013, information appeared in the media that in the future NOVATEK plans to retain only a controlling stake in the project, and divide the remaining 10% - 1 share between consortiums of Japanese and Indian companies.

In January 2014, NOVATEK closed a deal to sell 20% of Yamal LNG OJSC to a CNPC subsidiary, CNODC. The transaction amount was not disclosed, but according to media reports, the value of the package as of September 2013 was $1 billion.

In December 2015, NOVATEK and the Chinese Silk Road Fund Co Ltd. (SRF) signed a purchase and sale agreement for a 9.9% stake in the Yamal LNG project.

I read the material of the respected Brekotin today .

As always, there are citizens for whom the construction of a new Russian enterprise is like a knife to the heart.

And Russia doesn’t need construction, and the investments are wrong, and the workers are wrong, and the equipment is wrong, and the buyers are bastards, everything, without a doubt. Well, God is their judge. This is their fate - to criticize, sitting in a warm apartment, without lifting their butts from the sagging sofa.

And for normal people, I suggest you look: what is Yamal LNG- In fact. So: look and rejoice for our heroic builders and the capabilities of Russian industry.

The whole truth about Yamal LNG

I was again drawn to the north, far, far away, beyond the Arctic Circle, to the Yamal Peninsula in Sabetta, where one of the largest projects in the oil and gas sector in recent years is being implemented - Yamal LNG. To understand, $22 billion has already been invested in it (a total of about $27 billion is planned). The liquefied natural gas (LNG) plant itself will operate on the resource base of the South Tambeyskoye field, and its capacity will be 16.5 million tons per year. Last May I was already in these parts http://zavodfoto.livejournal.com/4827701.html, then the overall readiness for the entire project was about 51.3%, and the readiness for the first stage was 64.4%. How things are today, I will show and tell you everything, fortunately the company PJSC NOVATEK, a shareholder of the project, is very open in this matter and is not afraid of me :).

2. Experienced a moment of deja vu. The speaker this time was Dmitry Monakov, already familiar to me, the first deputy director of the project.

3. And straight to the numbers. At the moment, the overall readiness for the entire project is 77-78%, and for the first stage of the plant it is already 88%. This is, in fact, what the first phase should look like by the end of the year.

The South Tambeyskoye field is located in the North-East of the Yamal Peninsula and belongs to the West Siberian oil and gas province. It was opened back in 1974. The field consists of 5 shallow gas formations and 37 deep gas condensate formations. The depth of the deposits varies from 900 to 2850 m. The dimensions of the deposit from south to north are about 70 km and from east to west - about 30-35 km. In total, they plan to drill 208 production wells with a horizontal end at 19 well pads at the field (the required 58 wells have already been drilled for the first stage, and a total of 78 have already been drilled at the moment. At the same time, only 35 wells are needed for the second stage, and about 35 for the third stage as well -38. The rest will have to maintain the necessary flow rate for the full operation of the plant). Proven and probable reserves amount to about 1.3 trillion cubic meters of gas and 60 million tons of condensate. The license to develop the field belongs to the Yamal LNG company and is valid until 2045. This resource base should be enough for at least 25-30 years of confident work.

The Yamal LNG plant will consist of three gas liquefaction trains with a capacity of 5.5 million tons per year each, i.e. the total capacity will be 16.5 million tons. In addition, the production complex will include liquefied hydrocarbon gas fractionation units, stable condensate and refrigerant storage parks, as well as other general plant engineering systems and flare units.

The entire plant will be built from 360 modules, of which there will be 111 technological modules. The first such module was delivered to the construction site on September 21, 2015. This core equipment is produced in 7 Chinese and 3 Indonesian shipyards. The total weight of the LNG plant is 650 thousand tons, of which 150 thousand tons are racks, and 500 thousand tons are the process modules themselves.

In the fall of 2016, all 78 modules required for the first stage, including the central control room, were delivered to Sabetta. Nevertheless, there are still 57 modules left to be delivered to the plant’s territory (for the second and third stages), which will appear here according to plan before the end of 2017.

8. On this day it was minus 30 here, and there was still a very strong wind at the altitude, but how could this stop me, who is in love with our industry? Therefore, almost blindly, since all my glasses are fogged up and frozen, I conquer and conquer all the lush heights of the plant :-)

9. Yes, well, in a year we’ve done a lot of business here, we’ve built a lot of things, well done, keep it up, we’ve definitely surprised!

11. We didn’t feel shy, we walked around inside...

The start of LNG production on the first line is planned for 2017, while the first deliveries of liquefied natural gas from here should take place before the end of this year.

16.Tanks for storing liquefied gas, there are four of them in total (4x160,000 m3). In permafrost conditions, each tank is built on a foundation of 948 piles, each 24 meters deep, with a thermal stabilizer installed next to each. In 2016, all of them were built and passed the necessary hydrotests. The main platforms of pumping equipment are installed on the first two tanks.

18. We climbed to one of the reservoirs. Their height is 54 meters. By the way, last year I was inside it, but now the way there is already closed.

20. An important component of the project is its own generation. A new gas turbine power plant with a capacity of 376 MW will be built here, the thermal power plant will be 160.0 MW. You see, on the right you can see an orange, blue and white building with pipes, that’s it. The first gas turbine with a capacity of 47 MW should be launched this spring. Thus, it will create the energy foundation for launching the first stage of the plant. It’s no secret that I’m partial to energy, so I’ll write a separate post about it.

As for the production process, it can be briefly described as follows. From the wells, gas is transported to the plant through a pipeline system. They are above ground here. When the gas enters the LNG plant, it is lightly conditioned to ensure the best possible liquefaction process. To do this, condensate is separated from the gas (these are liquid fractions that are simply dissolved in the gas at formation pressure and are in a state like steam), methanol (used for production, such as lubricant) and other unnecessary impurities. By the way, condensate also remains in use; it goes through a pipeline system into special tanks (there are 3 tanks of 50,000 m3 each for this purpose) and when a special tanker arrives, it is also shipped to consumers. Clean (prepared) ideally dry gas is supplied for liquefaction and then stored in tanks. In addition, in order to obtain a high-quality final product, carbon dioxide and mercury released during the cleaning process are removed.

On November 13, 2016, cryogenic heat exchangers were delivered to Sabbeta for the second and third lines of the plant, but for the first line, a similar heat exchanger has already been installed in the right place. The main cryogenic heat exchanger is considered the “heart” of the LNG plant, because it is inside it that the final cooling of natural gas to a liquid state is carried out. The heat exchanger itself is made of aluminum alloy and consists of several tube bundles wound onto a central core. The total length of the pipes exceeds 43 km.

35. Currently, about 27,500 people work at the construction site.

40. Our next stop is the Arctic sea port, which is also part of the general infrastructure of the plant. I also wrote about him last time: http://zavodfoto.livejournal.com/4838728.html

41. By the way, thanks to Yamal LNG, cargo traffic along the Northern Sea Route has doubled. And in total, more than 10 million tons of cargo have already been delivered to the seaport of Sabetta since 2012.

The Yamal LNG project: a significant event of recent years, comparable in scale and prospects, perhaps, to the development of Western Siberia half a century ago

 

Reference Information:

• Name: Gas liquefaction plant "Yamal LNG".
• Purpose of the object: production of liquefied natural gas.
• Start of construction: year 2012.
• Completion: 2019
• Object cost:$27 billion.
• Who is building (main general contractor/beneficiary): PJSC NOVATEK/L. Mikhelson.

The shift camp beyond the Arctic Circle called Sabetta, on the shores of the Yamal Peninsula, is far from a resort. And although planes fly here quite often, and the airport itself will be better than in many large cities of Russia, you cannot buy tickets. People come here for work and shifts. Only KamAZ can safely travel from the air harbor to the village where workers of the Yamal LNG liquefaction plant live, which is near the village of Sabetta, and the huge torch next to the plant is today considered a local landmark. Its power melts the snow in the area, and the howl of the flame is simply deafening.

Just a few years ago, Sabetta became part of the Northern Sea Route. The seaport here was built as part of a public-private partnership. Nuclear icebreakers of Rosatomflot make it possible to service the sea route in the Far North. And this makes it possible to deliver cargo to the port all year round. In winter, icebreaker assistance is used. This port is one of the most important supporting points of the Northern Sea Route, the shortest route connecting Europe and Asia. It is destined to become the main base for the development of Yamal fields and provide year-round navigation along the Northern Sea Route.

But at the beginning of December 2017, almost all news agencies wrote about this small village. It was here that the President of the Russian Federation arrived with distinguished guests, including:

• Khalid Al Falih, Minister of Energy of Saudi Arabia;
• Patrick Pouyanné, President, Chairman of the Board of Directors of the energy company Total;
• Wang Yanzhi, General Manager of the Silk Road Foundation;

  The “Silk Road” reached to the very north. Let's combine it with the Northern Sea Route, and we will have what we need. And we will make the Northern Sea Route silk” (V. Putin).

• Saudi Aramco, chief director of the most powerful national Saudi oil company.

Distinguished guests are invited to attend the loading ceremony of the tanker Christophe de Margerie - the first merchant ship in the world to sail to these places without icebreaker assistance.

“Without the participation and trust of foreign partners, this project would not have taken place. And he himself is named after our friend de Margerie (the president of Total who died in October 2014). It’s a pity that he is not with us today” (V. Putin).

On this day, the first batch of liquefied gas was loaded onto the tanker from Yamal LNG. Not everyone believed in the project. But there were people who were not afraid to take risks and proved to the whole world that this risk was justified.

A large delegation visited Yamal LNG, a world-class plant, the first enterprise of this level built in the Arctic. 15 countries and hundreds of domestic enterprises are involved in its construction. This construction will cost $27 billion.

It's no secret that strategic Russian oil and gas companies are subject to sanctions. But even inclusion in Western sanctions lists did not become an obstacle for the main shareholder of PJSC Novatek in attracting external financing. The first phase of the project was completed on time, and this under such tough conditions. Moreover, and this is especially valuable, the initial estimated cost has not been exceeded.

But this was just the beginning.

Yamal LNG project

It is being implemented on the basis of the South Tambey gas field, the proven and probable reserves of which are estimated at 1.3 trillion cubic meters. meters of gas and 60 million tons of condensate. The license of the Yamal LNG company to develop the field is valid until 2045. Having such a resource base means having a guarantee of reliable work for at least 25-30 years.

“About 14 thousand people will be employed during the construction of the plant, and after its completion in 2018, 1 thousand 400 jobs will be created at the enterprise” (Igor Kholmanskikh, Plenipotentiary Representative of the President of the Russian Federation in the Urals Federal District).

Provides for the production of 16.5 million tons of LNG per year and up to 1.2 million tons of gas condensate. Deliveries of the finished product are planned to the European markets and mainly to the countries of the Asia-Pacific region, new for Russian gas.

The entire plant will be built from 360 modules, of which 111 are technological. This equipment is produced at seven Chinese and three Indonesian shipyards.

The launch of the first line took place in December 2017, when the first tanker with LNG was shipped. Currently, two million tons of LNG have been shipped from the first stage of the plant.

Yamal LNG has shipped the second million tons of LNG from the first stage of the plant. Gas supplies have been carried out since December last year by Arctic gas carriers of the Arc-7 class with a capacity of about 74 thousand tons. The two millionth ton was shipped in 27 batches. In April 2018, LNG supplies began under long-term contracts, under which 4 shipments have already been shipped. In April, the first ignition of gas turbines of compressors of the second stage of the plant with a capacity of 5.5 million tons was also carried out, which is one of the most important stages in preparing the line for launch” (company message on May 7, 2018).

The project provides for the construction of the necessary transport and social infrastructure in order to ensure efficient and safe operation of the project.

The second (in 2018) and third (in 2019) phases are to be launched. The total volume of investments for all phases I-III of the complex is $27 billion.

“I think that the second line will be introduced three months earlier [than plan] and the third line will be introduced 6-9 months earlier” (Leonid Mikhelson, Chairman of the Board of NOVATEK).

How Yamal LNG OJSC began

The gas reserves explored in Yamal and adjacent territories bring this region to a leading position in Russia. Today, Yamal contains more than 20% of Russian gas, so local fields are the main area for the production of “blue” fuel.

The joint stock company was created more than ten years ago. Its shareholders were Novatek with 60% of shares, Total with 20% and CNPC also with 20% of shares. Recently, the Silk Road Fund joined the shareholders, after which Novatek sold it a 9.9% stake, retaining a controlling stake.

In 2012, the main construction began. The approach to it was implemented in a comprehensive manner. The first shift workers in Sabetta, then a tiny and unknown settlement of the Nenets, appeared in 1980. But only with the development of a large-scale project did the village receive development, and now world fame.

Construction began on a seaport, a gas liquefaction plant, a modern Sabetta airport and the village of Sabetta itself, the population of which increased to 20,000 people.

Gas is supplied to the plant from wells through pipes laid above the ground. There, gas condensate, methanol and other foreign fractions are separated from it. The perfectly dry gas obtained as a result of purification is sent for liquefaction, and from there through pipes to storage tanks. There are four of them, each with 160 thousand cubic meters. meters. They were built in 2016 in permafrost conditions. At the base of each are 948 piles, each 24 meters deep. They passed all the necessary hydrotests.

• Seaport of the Yamal LNG company.

  The Sabetta seaport was built specifically for the shipment of liquefied gas. The port of the Yamal LNG company has become the gateway to the Arctic and a key link in the construction of the plant. Moreover, not only liquefied natural gas, but also other cargo will be transported through it along the Northern Sea Route.
