Not everyone believed in this idea, but there were people who took a risk and eventually won - and Vladimir Vladimirovich said so at the final conference.
and reviews about "Yamal LNG" specialists
In December 2017, the first stage of the construction of the plant was launched, one more stage will be launched in 2018 and 2019. After that, the fourth one will be built - completely on Russian technologies. According to experts, the demand for gas in the world will only grow, and in 20 years consumption will grow by approximately 40%, and specifically LNG - by 70%. Interest in liquefied gas is so great that the chief director of the most powerful national Saudi oil company Saudi Aramco flew to launch the first stage. What might be of interest to a company from Saudi Arabia, the world's main gas supplier in northern Russia? Of course, our next possible gas project in the Arctic is Arctic LNG-2. The Saudis do not hide their interest in cooperation in financing and developing the field. The launch of an expensive, unique complex in the town of Yar-Sale in Yamal is an epoch-making event on a global scale. It is no secret that our country, our strategic oil and gas companies are subject to sanctions, including on technology and the supply of equipment. It is all the more valuable that in such harsh conditions the first stage of the project was completed on time and, surprisingly for our country, the initial estimated cost was not exceeded. This caused a lot of positive feedback about Yamal LNG. By the way, the Americans have not yet been able to launch a similar project in Alaska.
History of OAO Yamal LNG
Yamal and its adjacent territories are leaders in Russia in terms of explored gas reserves. Today, more than 20% of Russian gas is located in Yamal, so local deposits are destined to be the main areas for the extraction of this fuel. 12 years ago, Yamal LNG OJSC was established, where the shareholders were Novatek - 60% of the shares, Total - 20% of the shares and CNPC - 20% of the shares. Novatek recently sold a 9.9% stake to the Silk Road Fund, but retained a controlling stake of 50.1%. The main construction began in 2012. The total investment for all three phases of the complex is $27 billion.
Technologies of the integrated scheme for the production, liquefaction and sale of gas
Yamal LNG contractors implemented a comprehensive approach to the project of a Russian gas producing company. In Sabetta, a tiny settlement of the local Nenets people, the first shift workers appeared in 1980. But the development of the village and adjacent territories received only with the development of the project. They began to build a seaport, a gas liquefaction plant, a modern village of Sabetta itself, where more than 20,000 people already live.
Gas from wells through pipes laid above the ground enters the gas liquefaction plant. At the plant, gas condensate (liquid impurities), methanol and other foreign fractions are separated from the gas. Purified, ideally dry gas goes to liquefaction and then through pipes to storage facilities and tanks. There are four of them, 160,000 cubic meters each. The heart of each stage of the plant is a cryogenic plant (it directly liquefies gas) - the most complex equipment, with more than 40 kilometers of pipes alone. Gas condensate also finds its use, it is sent to special containers and the corresponding tankers transport the condensate to consumers.
Seaport of the company "Yamal LNG"
A unique sea port of Sabetta has been built for the shipment of liquefied gas. It is a key link in the technological chain and the main base of the transport hub for the development of oil and gas fields in Yamal and the Gulf of Ob. The port has already provided navigation throughout the year. The port of the Yamal LNG company Sabetta is the gateway to the Arctic, it is a key link in the construction of the facility under construction.
Transportation of liquefied natural gas
According to reviews, when Yamal LNG reaches its design capacity, it should ship 16.5 million tons of liquefied gas (5.5 million tons each line). To transport such impressive volumes of gas, a whole fleet of unique vessels will be created from fifteen specially designed reinforced icebreaking tankers with a capacity of 173,000 cubic meters each. A contract for the supply of gas carriers worth more than $5 billion was signed with shipbuilders from South Korea. The lead tanker, which has already loaded and left for customers, bears the name of Christophe de Mangenie, the name of the president of Total, who tragically died in 2014. In many respects, this is the merit of the president of the company - that, despite the sanctions, the French Total remained in the project. Their knowledge, experience and technology are very important in construction. According to the plan, at the end of 2018, ten gas carriers should be loaded monthly. The loading time of one vessel is about 20 hours.
Main consumers
Under the contract, part of the gas will be purchased by the founders joint-stock company- by Total and CNPC. Among the buyers: "daughter" of Gazprom, Singaporean, Spanish, British, Indian, French companies. Moreover, 96% of future supplies have already been contracted, and it is known that 70-80% of liquefied gas will go to the countries of the Asia-Pacific region. So far, Russia has a small share in the global LNG trade. But, if all the planned projects are implemented, we will become a significant player in the market, and we will be reckoned with. We will not reach the level of the world's largest LNG supplier - Qatar, but we are quite capable of becoming one of the world leaders. The President of Novatek said that the launch of Arctic LNG-2 in 2022-2023 is realistic.
Arctic deposits stimulate the development of Russia
According to experts, the development of fields on the Yamal Peninsula, the Gulf of Ob, will be a driver for the growth of the Russian economy. As Mendeleev said in the 19th century: "The wealth of Russia will grow in Siberia," so now the wealth of our country will grow in the Arctic. After all, the development of these territories will require scientific research and technology from many research institutes throughout the country, and many enterprises and companies in Russia will be loaded with orders. Moreover, under the conditions of sanctions, there is a forced import substitution, which ultimately turns out to be good for us.
Special construction technologies
The stages of construction of the Yamal LNG plant show that, despite the fact that sanctions certainly affect financing and technological support, Russia found alternative financing and was able to independently create necessary equipment. In order to mount and run a plant in permafrost conditions, unique technologies are required. Even the attracted foreign experts in the construction of such projects were often unable to help. The plant is assembled from giant modules, there are more than 300 of them. Modules are created on the mainland, their weight reaches tens and hundreds of tons. These superblocks are transported by special vessels; a heavy-duty berth has been created for unloading, which can withstand a load of more than 10 tons per 1 sq. meter. A plant is assembled from the modules on site. Due to the permafrost, the entire installation of the modules is carried out on sites installed on piles, going down tens of meters.
Since there is no communication with the mainland in Yamal, except by sea and air, everything here is autonomous. There should be own generation of energy and heat. A GTPP with a capacity of 370 MW of electricity and 150 MW of thermal energy is under construction. Even the trains that will soon go on railway to Sabetta, will be the only ones in the world using LNG as fuel.
Sabetta - the village of shift workers
Today, in terms of population and living conditions, Sabetta is no longer a village, but a city. Initially, the name of the settlement was Sabeta (with one "t"), then it was somehow Italianized. In the 1990s, when the number of drilling and exploration works was greatly reduced, the population of the village fell to a few dozen people. But since 2012, with the start of the construction of the Yamal project, the population has grown rapidly, and the village has turned into a city. In the conditions of permafrost, decent conditions have been created for the work and rest of the employees of the gas production company. Most of the people who live here work. on a rotational basis, and living conditions are specific: work-home, work-home. The house is a hostel with rooms for 4-8 people. Living conditions are decent, spacious canteens, large sports and GYM's for those who still have strength after a busy shift. For all strict dry law, violated - "goodbye" to the mainland.
Prospects for Yamal LNG and other Arctic projects
The events taking place now in Yamal occur once in a hundred years. The significance of the development of the project is comparable to the development of Western Siberia 50-60 years ago. It is necessary to take into account the ever-increasing role of LNG in the global gas balance. Due to the fact that the fastest growing markets are located in the countries of the Asia-Pacific region, it is often simply impossible to organize pipeline gas supplies to these countries. According to experts, if all the plans outlined by our gas producers come true, by 2030 Russia's share of the global LNG market could reach 15%. And all the Yamal fields can reach the volume of 70 million tons of liquefied gas. Even now, reviews of Yamal LNG are the most enthusiastic. According to the project, in a few years it will reach a cargo turnover of 30 million tons. Already today, thanks to the construction of a year-round port on Yamal, the volume of traffic along the northern sea route has doubled. In addition to products gas industry the port will also handle other cargoes needed for the northern territories. Of course, it will also be used in the interests of the Russian Ministry of Defense, that is, it is of strategic importance.
Shift jobs
The Yamal LNG plant is developing and, of course, specialists are required for the production being built. Engineers, workers, operators of various specialties are required. Wage starts from 85,000 rubles, for leading specialists - 2-3 times more. Contacts of Yamal LNG: Yamal-Nenets Autonomous District, Yamal region, Yar-Sale village.
Today I read the material of the respected Brekotin .
As always, there are citizens for whom the construction of a new Russian enterprise- like a knife to the heart.
And Russia does not need construction, and the investments are wrong, and the workers are not the same, and the equipment is not right, and the buyers are bastards, everything, without a doubt. Well, God be their judge. Their fate is this - to criticize, sitting in a warm apartment, without taking their ass off the sagging sofa.
And for normal people, I propose to look: what is Yamal LNG- in fact. So: look, and rejoice for our heroic builders and the possibilities of Russian industry.
The whole truth about Yamal LNG
I was again drawn to the north, far, far beyond the Arctic Circle, to the Yamal Peninsula to Sabetta, where one of the largest oil and gas projects in recent years, Yamal LNG, is being implemented. For understanding, $22 billion has already been invested in it (about $27 billion is planned in total). The plant for the production of liquefied natural gas (LNG) will operate on the resource base of the Yuzhno-Tambeyskoye field, and its capacity will be 16.5 million tons per year. In May last year, I was already in these parts http://zavodfoto.livejournal.com/4827701.html, then the overall readiness for the entire project was somewhere around 51.3%, and the readiness for the first stage was 64.4%. How things are today, I will show and tell everything, since NOVATEK PJSC, the project shareholder, is very open in this matter and is not afraid of me :).
2. Experienced deja vu for a moment. Dmitry Monakov, already familiar to me, the first deputy director of the project, was also a speaker this time. 
3. And immediately 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 how the first stage should look like by the end of the year. 
The Yuzhno-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 reservoirs and 37 deep gas condensate reservoirs. The depth of deposits varies from 900 to 2850 m. The size of the deposit from south to north is about 70 km and from east to west - about 30-35 km. In total, it is planned to drill 208 production wells with a horizontal ending at 19 well pads at the field (the necessary 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 -38 The rest will have to maintain the necessary flow for the full operation of the plant). Proven and probable reserves are about 1.3 trillion cubic meters of gas and 60 million tons of condensate. The field development license belongs to Yamal LNG 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 lines 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 installations.
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 basic 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 autumn 2016, all 78 modules required for the first stage, including the central control room, were delivered to Sabetta. Nevertheless, 57 modules (for the second and third stages) still remain to be delivered to the territory of the plant, which will appear here according to the plan before the end of 2017.
8. On this day it was below minus 30, and at the height there is still a very strong wind, but can this stop me, who is in love with our industry? Therefore, almost blindly, since all the glasses are fogged up and frozen, I conquer and conquer all the vile heights of the plant :-) 
9. Yes, well, in a year they did business here, what they just didn’t build, well done, keep it up, they definitely surprised me! 
11. They didn’t hesitate, they walked inside ... 
The start of LNG production on the first line is scheduled 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 (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 hydraulic tests. The main platforms of pumping equipment are installed on the first two tanks. 
18. We climbed one of the tanks. Their height is 54 meters. By the way, last year I was inside it, but now the way there is booked. 
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-white building with pipes, this is it. the first gas turbine, with a capacity of 47 MW should be launched this spring. Thus, it will create an energy foundation for launching the first stage of the plant. It's no secret that I'm not indifferent to energy, so I'll write a separate post about it. 
Concerning 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. Once on the territory of the LNG plant, the gas is slightly prepared so that the liquefaction process takes place in the best possible way. To do this, condensate is separated from the gas (these are liquid fractions that are simply dissolved in the gas at pressure in the reservoir and are in a state like steam), methanol (used for production, such as lubricants) and other unnecessary impurities. By the way, condensate also remains in business, it goes through the pipeline system to special tanks (there are 3 tanks of 50,000 m3 each for this) and when a special tanker arrives, it is also shipped to consumers. Clean (prepared) ideally dry gas is supplied for liquefaction and then for storage in tanks. In addition, in order to obtain a high-quality end product, carbon dioxide and mercury released during the purification process are removed.
On November 13, 2016, cryogenic heat exchangers were delivered to Sabbeta for the second and third stages of the plant, but for the first line, a similar heat exchanger has already been installed at 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 around a central core. The total length of the pipes exceeds 43 km.
35. Now about 27,500 people work at the construction site.
40. Our next stop is the Arctic seaport, 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, the cargo traffic along the Northern Sea Route has doubled. In total, more than 10 million tons of cargo have already been delivered to the seaport of Sabetta since 2012.
And I was again drawn to the north, far, far, beyond the Arctic Circle to the Yamal Peninsula to Sabetta, where one of the largest projects in the oil and gas sector in recent years, Yamal LNG, is being implemented. For understanding, $22 billion has already been invested in it (about $27 billion is planned in total). The plant for the production of liquefied natural gas (LNG) will operate on the resource base of the Yuzhno-Tambeyskoye field, and its capacity will be 16.5 million tons per year. In May last year, I was already in these parts, then the overall readiness for the entire project was somewhere around 51.3%, and the readiness for the first stage was 64.4%. How things are today, I will show and tell everything, since NOVATEK PJSC, the project shareholder, is very open in this matter and is not afraid of me :).
2. I experienced deja vu for a moment. Dmitry Monakov, already familiar to me, the first deputy director of the project, was also a speaker this time.
3. And immediately 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 how the first stage should look like by the end of the year.
The Yuzhno-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 reservoirs and 37 deep gas condensate reservoirs. The depth of deposits varies from 900 to 2850 m. The size of the deposit from south to north is about 70 km and from east to west - about 30-35 km. In total, it is planned to drill 208 production wells with a horizontal ending at 19 well pads at the field (the necessary 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 -38 The rest will have to maintain the necessary flow for the full operation of the plant). Proven and probable reserves are about 1.3 trillion cubic meters of gas and 60 million tons of condensate. The field development license belongs to Yamal LNG 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 lines 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 installations.
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 basic 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 autumn 2016, all 78 modules required for the first stage, including the central control room, were delivered to Sabetta. Nevertheless, 57 modules (for the second and third stages) are still envying the territory of the plant, which will appear here according to the plan before the end of 2017.
8. On this day it was below minus 30, and at the height there is still a very strong wind, but can this stop me, who is in love with our industry? Therefore, almost blindly, since all the glasses are fogged up, I conquer and conquer all the vile heights of the plant :-)
9. Yes, well, in a year they did business here, what they just didn’t build, well done, keep it up, they definitely surprised me!
11. They didn’t hesitate, they walked inside ...
The start of LNG production on the first line is scheduled for 2017, while the first deliveries of liquefied natural gas from here should take place before the end of this year.
16. Liquefied gas storage tanks, there are four of them (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 hydraulic tests. The main platforms of pumping equipment are installed on the first two tanks.
18. We climbed one of the tanks. Their height is 54 meters. By the way, last year I was inside it, and now the way there is booked.
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-white building with pipes, this is it. The first gas turbine with a capacity of 47 MW should be launched this spring. Thus, it will create an energy foundation for the launch of the first stage of the plant. It's no secret that I'm not indifferent 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. Once on the territory of the LNG plant, the gas is slightly prepared so that the liquefaction process takes place in the best possible way. To do this, condensate is separated from the gas (these are liquid fractions that are simply dissolved in the gas at pressure in the reservoir and are in a state like steam), methanol (used for production, such as lubricants) and other unnecessary impurities. By the way, condensate also remains in business, it goes through the pipeline system to special tanks (there are 3 tanks of 50,000 m3 each for this) and when a special tanker arrives, it is also shipped to consumers. Pure (prepared) ideally dry gas is supplied for liquefaction and then for storage in tanks. In addition, in order to obtain a high-quality end product, carbon dioxide and mercury released during the purification process are removed.
On November 13, 2016, cryogenic heat exchangers for the second and third stages of the plant were delivered to Sabbata, but for the first line, a similar heat exchanger has already been installed at 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 around a central core. The total length of the pipes exceeds 43 km.
35. Now about 27,500 people work at the construction site.
41. By the way, thanks to Yamal LNG, the cargo traffic along the Northern Sea Route has doubled. In total, more than 10 million tons of cargo have already been delivered to the seaport of Sabetta since 2012. 
44. At the moment, the construction of the preparatory period facilities necessary for the delivery of LNG plant modules has been completed. Six cargo berths have been built and the construction of berths for loading LNG and gas condensate is being actively continued. 
Yamal LNG, controlled by NOVATEK, has begun production of liquefied natural gas at the first stage of its plant. The total capacity of the plant will exceed 16.5 million tons of LNG per year, and the project cost was $27 billion

The Yamal LNG plant, controlled by NOVATEK, has started the production of liquefied natural gas (LNG) on the first production line with a design capacity of 5.5 million tons of LNG per year, according to a statement from NOVATEK received by RBC.
On Friday, December 8, the first batch of LNG is scheduled to be loaded at the port of Sabetta, for this the LNG tanker Christophe de Margerie, named after the former head of Total (the corporation owns 18.9% of NOVATEK and 20% of Yamal LNG) will be used. who died in a plane crash at Vnukovo in October 2014.
“The start of production of liquefied natural gas at the first line of the plant is a major milestone in the development of the Yamal LNG project. We are opening a new page in the history of our company,” said Leonid Mikhelson, CEO and co-owner of NOVATEK (his words are quoted in the company’s announcement).
Yamal LNG is the first privately owned LNG plant in Russia to be built on the basis of the Yuzhno-Tambeyskoye field. Initially, it was assumed that it would have three stages with a total capacity of 16.5 million tons of LNG per year (5.5 million tons each): the second should be launched in the third quarter of 2018, the third - in early 2019. But in September 2017, Yamal LNG plans to build another line with a capacity of up to 1 million tons per year.
The project budget is estimated at $27 billion, of which about $12 billion are Chinese banks, and another 150 billion rubles. — FNB. 50.1% of the shares of Yamal LNG are owned by NOVATEK, 20% each by the French Total and the Chinese CNPC, and another 9.9% by the Chinese Silk Road Fund.
“We are proud that at the end of 2013 we made an investment decision on the timing [of the construction of the LNG plant] and capital investments in this project, and we are going within this framework,” Mikhelson at a briefing in Sabetta at the end of March, when this port the tanker "Christophe de Margerie" arrived. Then Russian President Vladimir Putin, who participated in the ceremony via video link, said that he was “surprised” by the pace of construction of the plant. “If we act in the same vein and at the same pace,<...>then, of course, Russia, without any doubt, not only can, but will become the largest producer of liquefied natural gas in the world, ”he promised that the state would contribute in every possible way to the development of the project.
Competitor of Gazprom
Gas from the new Yamal LNG plant, exempt from MET and duties, will compete in the European market with Russian pipeline gas, Nikolai Kislenko, Deputy Head of Department 123 of Gazprom, said at the Gas of Russia 2017 forum. “The same Yamal LNG means no export duty, no severance tax. And the gas that it will replace is the same [from which taxes and duties] Gazprom would transfer to the budget of the Russian state. That is, a clear loss of budgetary efficiency as such,” he said (cited by Interfax). According to his presentation, budget revenues from the mineral extraction tax and export duty from Gazprom's gas exports amount to more than 4.1 thousand rubles. for 1 thousand cubic meters The representative of NOVATEK does not comment on this.
Almost all Yamal LNG gas (more than 95%) has already been contracted, and the first batch of LNG will be sent to CNPC, at the end of October, NOVATEK CFO Mark Jetway during a teleconference with investors. “This is a very symbolic question. From our point of view, the first LNG tanker should be sent to CNPC in recognition of the company's contribution to the project and the importance of the Asia-Pacific market,” he said.
The launch of Yamal LNG is a landmark event for the Russian oil and gas industry, notes Valery Nesterov, senior analyst at Sberbank CIB: this plant was built from scratch in extremely difficult conditions, without any infrastructure. The cost of gas production and LNG production is reduced due to the plant's proximity to the field and low temperatures, which reduce its energy demand, the expert says.
At current oil prices, the fate of this project would be less happy, Nesterov notes: the implementation of Yamal LNG began in 2013, when Brent oil cost more than $100 per barrel, and now it is $62.5. Therefore, the construction of the plant could be postponed, the expert notes. However, it is clear that the long-term contracts of Yamal LNG include the price of LNG, which ensures a fairly high profitability of this project, he admits. In January 2016, Michelson estimated the cost of gas supplied to the plant at less than $0.6 per 1 million British Thermal Units (MMBTU), indicating that the project was paying off even at "super low prices". But at that time, LNG in the Asian market ( key market for Yamal LNG) cost $6-6.5, and now it costs $9-10 per 1 MMBTU, Nesterov notes.
The opening of Yamal LNG will help NOVATEK in building new LNG plants and attracting partners, Andrey Polishchuk, an analyst at Raiffeisenbank, notes. If earlier NOVATEK had no experience in building such plants and the company could not demand much from its potential partners, now its position is much stronger, he notes: now the cost of a share in a new LNG project and a contribution to its authorized capital should increase significantly . NOVATEK plans to build a second LNG plant, Arctic LNG-2, on the basis of the Gydan fields, its launch is expected in 2022-2023, but the company has not yet made a final decision on its construction.
