Other important

Gazprom Neft examines the possibility of building new sea terminals "Yenisei", "Round" and "Harasawi" in the Arctic for the export of products along the Northern Sea Route, the presentation of Rosatom, presented in the framework of the parliamentary hearings on the topic "On Legislative Support socio-economic development of the Far East and Arctic. "

Thus, according to the materials, the resource base of the construction of the port of "Yenisei" (at the mouth of the Yenisei River) is 1.3 billion tons of liquid hydrocarbons, the terminal launch is assumed in 2027. Annual shipment may amount to 20 million tons per year. After launching a draft deduction to the Regional Budget, 155 billion rubles can be made up, the federal - 1.97 trillion rubles. With this project, state support measures are needed in the form of dredging.

In August, Gazprom Neft received on a declarative principle of 12 licenses for the geological study of areas in the West of Taimyr (West Taimyr sites 1 - 12). They are located on the territory of the Dolgan-Nenets Municipal District of the Krasnoyarsk Territory. Earlier on Taimyr, Gazprom Neft had no assets. As the head of Rosnedre Evgeny Kiselev stated, the Yenisei-Khatangskaya zone may become a new oil and gas province with huge commercial reserves, where all major Russian oil and gas companies have already come out.

In addition, according to the materials "Rosatom", Gazprom Neft examines the possibility of building a "round" post (Obba). The resource base of this project may be 3.5 billion tons, launch year - 2024. Potential annual shipment up to 20 million tons. Discovers to the regional budget are assumed at the level of 200 billion rubles. a year, to the federal - up to 3.5 billion rubles. annually. The project also needs state support measures in the form of dredging works.

In the Ob Lip of Gazprom Neft already operates the port of the Arctic Gate (capacity - 8.5 million tons per year), shipping oil from a large neoport field. It is assumed that the port "Round" will be located on the opposite of the "Arctic Gate" side of the Ob Lip. Gazprom Neft implements the project "Gas Yamal" project in this region - the development of gas fields and the construction of a gas pipeline throughput 20 billion cubic meters.

Also, according to the materials of Rosatom, Gazprom Neft, considers the possibility of building the port of Harasawi in the north of the Yamal Peninsula: Resource base, annual loading and year of launch - specify. As intended state support measures, the need to carry out the dredging works of these projects.

The Gazprom Neft itself does not comment on the company's plans for the construction of new ports in the Arctic. According to the source in the company, now no outcome decisions about the construction of oil terminals are not accepted. The company is working on various logistics schemes for its new Arctic projects, the agency's source said.

I'm on Yamal again ... Only here still snow, I am completely in another area of \u200b\u200bthe region and I am quite another impressions. But there is a reason to remember last year And already to tell my blog about the "Arctic Gate" (before that there was a publication on BigPicture - a little more simple version).

The plane from Moscow or St. Petersburg to the capital of Yamal will bring you in just three hours. Here are the Ural Mountains, but already the Great Obe under the wing and for her - Salekhard. It would seem short, but this is enough to be in the endless expanses rich in archaeological finds, harvest berries and mushrooms, a deer and plenty of fish in rivers.

Yamal is considered to be a gas edge, but this is not quite so. Tundra keeps in its depths also black gold - oil. And now the development of Yamal deposits, which was previously impossible due to difficulties in extracting natural stocks, plays a very important role in the development of the region.

We (a group of journalists) issued a unique chance to see, feel in the literal sense of the word and see how it is mined. The scale of production in combination with nature of this edge produced a vivid impression on us.

So. Early morning. Salekhard.

Helicopter and first in my life by a helicopter. A small briefing, belts are fastened, instead of earplugs - headphones in the ears, and overboard endless landscapes from which they do not break away. Alexander Lipatnikov flies with us, Head of the Department of Operations of the Oil Terminal Terminal "Arctic Gate", which knows the difficulties and peculiarities of oil production on Yamal. Our path lies with the field, not far from the village of the new port, and the next day, even further - Cape Stone, where the most important object of our visit is the oil terminal.

Upon arrival, we immediately went to the fishery. The Novoportovskoye deposit is one of the largest developed oil and gas condensate deposits on the Yamal Peninsula, and in the reserves of liquid hydrocarbons - the largest. Reserved reserves in category C1 and C2 make up more than two hundred and fifty million tons of oil and condensate, as well as more than three hundred twenty billion cubic meters of gas. It's a lot!

If you delve into the history of Yamal, then the presence of significant oil and gas reserves here was proved in 1964, but the lack of transport infrastructure, as well as complex geology, remained insurmountable obstacles to the beginning of the full development of Novoportovsky. By 1987, 117 exploration wells were drilled at the deposit, but in the active phase, the asset development project entered only after 2010, when Gazprom decided to transmit it to Gazprom Neft. Today, the project operator is LLC Gazpromneft-Yamal.

Efficiency of production in the conditions of Arctic lard and permafrost company achieves through the use modern technologies. For example, one of them is the drilling of multisage wells, which makes it possible to increase the reservoir coverage area. It is here that a multi-duty well with a length of the horizontal plot in 2000 meters is bored. This indicator is a record for Gazprom Neft.

By the way, about records. The fishery employs really enthusiastic people, however, the others do not recognize the other. You need to be overtaken and love your business to carry out watches under these conditions. An amazing discovery was that the brigades did not just put records at the pace of construction of wells, but also compete with each other. Everything is present here: and the names of the teams, and the competitive process. Recordsmen have the name of the team just the corresponding - "victory" (as the ship will call, so he will float). And even "snow leopards". Once on the construction of wells went on average 40 days, now - 22, and there is a record - 14 days!

The Novoportovskoye deposit grows with a rapid pace. As of July 2017, 84 wells were drilled, and almost four hundred is planned! You just think about the scale of the wealth of this edge.

Of course, for such a diligent work and conditions should be appropriate. The reference base of fishery with a hostel is built, infrastructure has been established for life. There is about 450 people on the watch. Part of the workers live as before in the trays, but in comfortable - even heated floors. Next year, a residential complex for 600 people must be commissioned, a gas turbine power plant will be launched, which will ensure electricity not only oil industry facilities, but also the nearest villages.

The development of the territory cannot undergo without interaction with the local population. "We are here at a party," said Vladimir Sablin's head of the fishery, so all measures are being taken to maximize the nature of the person's invasion and, of course, live in friendship and harmony with nomadic peoples, which since ancient times live in Tundra.
Pipelines are raised above the ground so as not to interfere with deer, animal trails made on the spot of the current centuries, safe transitions through pipelines are made, seasonal roads are cleaned. In general, Gazprom Neft does everything in order not to interfere with the local live, as it is convenient. It is very pleasant surprising like a similar symbiosis of a large enterprise and the population. So, with joint efforts, the holiday of reindeer herders resumed, not just reasonable, and the most real, where they go away from all over the endless Yamal tundra, spend the day of the fisherman and generally respond to the needs of the population.

By the way, to a conversation about environmental purity. Gazprom Neft, together with the leading Russian Research, is evaluating the level of anthropogenic impact on the flora and the fauna of the Yamal Peninsula, including the species listed in the Red Book. For example, it is planned to conduct experienced work on the determination of plants, which can be most effectively used to restore the impaired surface layers of the soil in the Yamal tundra.

Just see where the shaking did a jack? Right at the base of the tanks of the tank fleet of the central point of oil collection.

Want to try oil? - asked us a very nontrivial question. Of course! The truth does not taste, as you could seem. But touch and sniff - please! This is a very interesting experience. And yes, the smell resembles gasoline and this Yamal oil differs from other brands.


Here, a unique variety of oil is mined in the Novoportovskoye deposit, which is also called - Novy Port. This oil is very attractive for buyers, it is known and appreciated in Europe for the highest quality, that is, a low sulfur content (about 0.1%), water, other impurities. NOVY PORT exceeds not only the Russian compound Urals, but also the European marker variety Brent. To date, Novy Port can be called the Yamal brand with confidence.


Briefly about what way oil passes. From wells, an oil emulsion that needs to get rid of water and gas to the node of additional work. First, the mixture is found with two types of separators, then the separated gas goes to the fuel gas preparation unit for the local power plant and flare installations, and the water mixture goes through the following network of separators, after which it is thoroughly adjacent to 40-45 degrees, without gas and with water At the level of 0.03 percent.
The prepared commodity oil in a hundredokilometer tube leaves the new port to the Cape Stone, from there the Terminal "Gate of the Arctic" shipped by the tanker, which goes through Murmansk to the buyer to Europe.

So, along the path of the oil, we flew to the cape Stone to the "Gate of the Arctic", so as to see with their own eyes, as it happens and, in order to fall in love with these harsh, do not stop admiring the difficulty of people who carry the Watch.

The fact that the Novoportovskoye deposit is unique, I think you have already understood. But the "Arctic Gate" allocate him even more among other deposits. Just think, for the first time in the history of the development of the oil and gas industry in Russia, year-round transportation of oil is carried out not by pipelines, but by the Northern Sea. So that it becomes possible, the huge work of specialists has been done, as a result of which a large oil terminal was built - the only one, located in fresh waters behind the polar circle, is not analogues in the world.

The "Gate of the Arctic" is designed to work in extreme natural climatic conditions. The power of the terminal for transshipment of raw materials is 8.5 million tons / year. A huge design has a two-level protection system and meets the most stringent requirements in the field of industrial safety and environmental protection. The terminal equipment is fully automated and securely protected from hydrowards. Special system Allows you to instantly produce the terminal and tanker, while maintaining the tightness of the disconnected elements. The principle of "zero discharge" excludes any contact of the product with an atmosphere, which is extremely important for the preservation of the ecology of the Arctic.

With surprise, we learn from the conversation with the operators of the terminal that it is much more comfortable to work in the winter - no waves and winds. In the winter period, the "Arctic Gate" is more accessible in terms of experts, maintenance, setting tankers to shipment. But how can I go up to the height of more than 80 meters in the cold? Basically, everything is mechanized and controlled at a distance from the center where all the necessary equipment and video surveillance costs. Here, on the shore, there is a laboratory that controls the quality of the transmitted oil and issues a certificate for a batch loaded to the tanker at the moment.

The first shipment of raw materials with the help of the terminal was held on May 25, 2016, the Russian President Vladimir Putin gave the team to launch. From this time, not few thousand tons of Novoportovsk oil took Europe from Europe. In the spring of this year, Gazpromneft-Yamal shipped the anniversary - five millionth - ton of raw materials to the tanker "Navurman Albanov".

By the way about maritime courts. Gazprom Neft specifically for work on the project "New Port" develops its own fleet. Until the end of 2017, six tankers of the highest Arctic class - Arc7 will arrive in oil transportation. Such a tanker is capable of transporting 40 thousand tons, overcome the northern seaway on ice with a thickness of 1.8 meters.

In parallel, diesel-electric icebreakers are being built at the Vyborg Shipbuilding Plant, which will be the title of the most powerful icebreakers in the Arctic. Their main task will be - ensuring the shipment of oil and maintenance of tankers. Such courts are not afraid of frost even in minus 50 degrees.

A trip to the Cape Stone comes to an end, you can still go to the shore of the Obian Lip, throw a coin and make a desire, because these edges still keep a lot of interesting and unknown, maybe these are new deposits, and maybe new people who will meet us on a way. Who knows. I'm definitely confident in one thing that Yamal is an amazing area with amazing discoveries inside and with wonderful people who master this harsh earth and live here.

Russia made the most important step towards the development of the Arctic zone: the start of the work of the year-round terminal for oil supplies to Europe along the Northern Sea Route. The project will not only bring the country to large financial benefits - it is extremely significant for the conquest of the Russian Northern Sea by the status of a key transit route between Europe and Asia.

President Putin by video links gave the start of the shipment of the first tanker with the oil of the Novoportovskoye deposit through the new Arctic Terminal "Arctic Gate", located in the water area of \u200b\u200bthe Obskaya Lip at the Yamal Peninsula.

"Russia makes a serious step towards the further development of the richest hydrocarbon resources of the Far North and the development of the Northern Sea Path" "

"It new stage The development of Yamal, in fact, a new stage of mastering the Novoportovsky deposit. This is a sign, a big event, I mean that both the project is one of the most capital-intensive in the oil and gas industry, "Putin said during the teleteption. "Over the past three years, 186 billion has been aimed at implementing this project, the latest high-tech solutions related to work in such severe conditions are applied," the president noted. For the first time, oil from Yamal will not ship without pipelines, but by the sea, the president added.

"Start shipping," the president commanded. "The first shipment of oil through the Terminal" Gate of the Arctic "began," said Alexey Miller, Chairman of Gazprom's Board. Miller and General Director of Gazprom Neft Alexander Dyukov were at the Terminal itself. "During the operation of this object, tax revenues to the budgets of all levels will exceed 1.5 trillion rubles," the TASS reports the words of Dyukov.

"No doubt, after the creation of the terminal (" Gate of the Arctic "), Russia makes a serious step towards the further development of the richest hydrocarbon resources of the Far North and the development of the Northern Sea Path," Miller said.

North Oil Province

Novoportovskoe is one of the largest oil and gas condensate deposits of the Yamal Peninsula. Restored reserves exceed 250 million tons of oil and condensate, as well as more than 320 billion cubic meters of gas.

It produces better oil, which refers to the category of "Light Oil". It contains less sulfur than the Russian compound URALS. This gives her additional competitive advantages in the global market. New oil grade got the name Novy Port. "This oil is trading with the Brent Oil Award," explained Dyukov.

The deposit is located behind the polar circle, away from the transport pipeline infrastructure. In this regard, shipment by the sea was chosen for the delivery of raw materials. For the first time, the possibility of the export of oil by sea in the winter period Gazprom Neft proved in 2011. Then the company managed to hold an atomic icebreaker along the Northern Sea Route from the Cape Stone on the Obska in Western Europe.

For the first time, Novoporkovskaya oil was sent to Europe tankers in 2014. However, it was still carried out only in the summer season and three river tankers and four-sea grade were involved for transportation. Already in the summer season of 2015, more than 180 thousand tons of hydrocarbons were transported along the rivals and highways of Sevmorputhi. Now we are talking about year-round delivery. In 2016, Gazprom Neft is going to increase the supply of Novy Port oil to 2-2.5 million tons, and by 2017 it is going to produce more than 4 million tons of oil here.

With the beginning in 2016, the industrial exploitation of the Novoportovskoye field in Russia will appear a new one, the northern oil province, unique under the conditions of operation, infrastructure and transport, spoke earlier the first deputy chairman of the Gazprom Neft Management Board Vadim Yakovlev.

"The Arctic Gate"

To ensure year-round transportation of oil from the Novoportovskoye deposit of the Sea to Europe in the fall of 2015, the first Arctic Sea Terminal on Yamal was mounted. On the shore of the rich lip, underwater and land pipelines were built with a length of more than 10.5 km, the tank park, pumping stations. Shipment is carried out using a remote Arctic oil terminal of a tower type, located 3.5 kilometers from the shore in the area of \u200b\u200bthe Cape Stone. The power of the terminal is 8.5 million tons of oil per year.

The "Arctic Gate" is designed to work in extreme conditions. The temperature in the region falls below 50 degrees, the ice thickness can exceed 2 meters.

Therefore, oil consumers will be delivered through the Northern Sea Route with tankers accompanied by icebreakers. By order of Gazprom Neft in 2017, two icebreaking vessels will be built. The conceptual project of the vessel was developed by the Finnish company Aker Arctic Technology, and the construction of two icebreakers will execute the "Vyborg Shipbuilding Plant". Bookmark of the first icebreaking vessel has already been held at the end of 2015.

Value

This project is the most important for increasing freight on the Northern Sea Route and the development of Arctic shelf fields. He brings to Russia to the delivered - increase the volume of goods in the Northern Sea Route by 2030 to more than 80 million tons, that is, twenty times compared with 2015.

"The new port will become one of the points in the Northern Sea Route (SMP), which, of course, will give an impetus to the development of the WMP project. And at the expense of year-round shipment of oil, accompanied by icebreakers, the Yamal route - Europe will be one of the first constantly used segments of the Sea Route. On this segment there will be a certain schedule, which will make a SMP more convenient and affordable for shippers. For the Yamal deposit, now the main thing is to secure cash flow, start returning investment. And year-round exports in this respect is quite by the way, "said Ivan Andrievsky, Chairman of the Board of Directors of the" engineering company "2K" Ivan Andrievsky.

The supply of oil in the Northern Northworthy will give Russian oil workers. "It will give an impulse to further expand the geography of deliveries on this path, will allow you to attract other companies to the transport of various goods that are not beneficial for shipment. And it can also revive the economies of coastal depressive cities, "said Kirill Yakovenko from Alor Broker.

The Terminal "The Arctic Gate" is another important step towards the development of the shelf vector. "The very fact of organizing the year-round work of a specialized major port, located behind the polar circle, is once again confirmed that the Russian interests in the Arctic are also supported by technical capabilities," said Dmitry Kipa, director of the QBF Investment Banking Department.

In addition to prey on the Arctic shelf, another aspect is important for Russia - the organization of uninterrupted supply of oil and gas to Europe. "It is clear that the use of oil and gas pipelines is significantly more profitable, because it does not impose additional costs for the development of the transport fleet, liquefaction and regasification of LNG," says Dmitry Kipa. However, in the current geopolitical conditions, the "pipe" should be an alternative. In this key, definitely, the possibility of organizing shipments by sea is an indisputable advantage.

Whatever European politicians say and no matter how they try to get rid of Russian hydrocarbons, the demand for Russian energy resources in Europe for last years Only grew. Only for the first quarter of this year, Europe purchased 15% more Russian gas than a year earlier. The same situation is observed with oil. "It is unlikely to expect rebound demand precisely on Russian oil. The supply of oil from Yamal is already contracted for years ahead, and when expanding the geography of traffic and possibilities, they, of course, will only grow, "I agree to Yakovenko.

For more than half a century, the inaccessible Yamal deposits were waiting for a technological breakthrough, which will allow Russian oil workers not only to extract black gold in harsh natural conditions, but also deliver it to its intended purpose. The most effective solution was the northern seaway.

The helicopter flies over the thin string of the pipeline. 100 kilometers of pipe from the deposit to the point of shipment of black gold. White desert to the horizon. This is Russian.

The instruction has ended: they explained how to behave when disembarking on the ice, which is now from one and a half meters and more, so quite safe. And, nevertheless, we need rescue vests that open automatically when entering into the water. At least the ice is quite thick, ordinary cars can not go along it, fail. Therefore, they use "Traclas" with width of the wheels at least half a meter.

The richest oil field was openly in the 60s of the last century. Start prey and, most importantly, the shipment of hydrocarbons was then not allowed technology. Now some minus 25 degrees, and in the midst of winter, the temperature here goes to minus 60. Russian oil workers in the 21st century managed to defeat the element.

"The scale of the project is colossal. This is really a huge and very rich pantry, quite comparable to the conditions and wealth of deposits in the Middle East," the first deputy is sure general Director PJSC Gazprom Neft Vadim Yakovlev.

In three and a half kilometers from the shore, something similar to the giant crane is now treated with ice of the Ob Lip. This is the only oil terminal in the world, built in such complex conditions. The record is not installed for the sake of ambition. Send oil through the Northern Sea Route turned out to be profitable.

The "Arctic Gate" is that, for which hundreds of people are here, two icebreakers, several tankers, what works are going around the clock, so that after a while the terminal came to its maximum power: about nine million tons per year.

US for the sake of such and even smaller volumes arrange state coups in the Middle East and Africa.

In the waters of the Obska lip around the clock, Gazprom Neft icebreakers are on duty. These are unique vessels created under a specific task. They are needed to start tankers into a rude lip, where the depth is small - from eight to 12 meters, shallow water.

Provide his maneuverability. He is able to turn around 360 degrees in just one minute. Water for tankers is always open. The icebreaker can work for days. Team, if necessary, deliver through the air.

Investments in the field - more than 300 billion rubles. They will be returned repeatedly. The state will receive hundreds of billions and a long-term profitable project, jobs for thousands of wattovikov, the development of the northern territories.

"We recently launched new programs: up to 40 percent of the cost of housing compensate for those who acquire it. The challenges who put the president that the North should develop, we decide here," says the Governor of the Yamalo-Nenets Autonomous Okrug Dmitry Artyukhov.

Gazprom Neft printed the largest oil area. , in the mastered territories, it creates the basis of the future infrastructure. Building railway - The case of the closest future. Big landHow much the rest of Russia is called here, it will be much closer.
