«Газпром» в среду ввел в эксплуатацию Ковыктинское газоконденсатное месторождение (Иркутская обл.) и магистральный газопровод Ковыкта — Чаянда, завершив подключение этих объектов к трубопроводной системе «Сила Сибири».

Ковыктинское газоконденсатное месторождение является крупнейшим в Восточной Сибири и обладает извлекаемыми запасами в объеме 1,8 трлн м³ газа и 65,7 млн т газового конденсата. «Газпром» планирует в следующем году добыть на нем 5 млрд м³ газа, а в 2026 г. вывести месторождение на пиковый уровень добычи – 27,2 млрд м³/год.

Магистральный трубопровод «Сила Сибири» обеспечивает поставки газа в направлении Амурского газоперерерабатывающего завода и далее на экспорт в Китай. Газопровод проходит через Иркутскую область, Якутию и Амурскую область, заканчиваясь в Благовещенске на российско-китайской границе.

Подача газа с Ковыкты в «Силу Сибири» началась еще в конце октября – в режиме пусконаладочных работ. До подключения Ковыктинского участка, газ в эту систему поступал только с Чаяндинского месторождения (Якутия), запасы газа которого оцениваются в 449 млрд м³. Протяженность нового газопровода Ковыкта – Чаянда составляет 804 км, а общая протяженность магистрали «Сила Сибири» превышает 3 000 км. Маршрут Ковыкта – Чаянда включает участок протяженностью 1,5 км, проложенный в грунте на дне реки Лена, на глубине 13 м.

Для приема газа с Ковыкты «Газпром» построил на Чаяндинском месторождении второй цех Центральной дожимной компрессорной станции – здесь поддерживается необходимый уровень давления в трубопроводе для дальнейшей транспортировки газа.

Один из основных введенных в строй объектов на Ковыкте - это установка комплексной подготовки газа №2 (УКПГ-2) производительностью более 6 млрд ³/год газа. Установка принимает углеводородное сырье со скважин месторождения и обеспечивает его очистку от воды, механических и других примесей, чтобы качество товарного продукта соответствовало нормативам. В состав УКПГ-2 в том числе входят три колонны для стабилизации газового конденсата.

Ковыктинский газовый конденсат после стабилизации будет поступать в конденсатопровод для прокачки на железнодорожный терминал в п. Окунайский. Терминал расположен в Иркутской области и примыкает к Байкало-Амурской железнодорожной магистрали (БАМ). Протяженность конденсатопровода Ковыкта–Окунайский составляет 173 км.

В период до 2026 г. «Газпром» планирует ввести в строй на Ковыкте еще три установки комплексной подготовки газа мощностью около 6 млрд м³/год каждая.

Поставки газа по «Силе Сибири» в Китай осуществляются в рамках долгосрочного контракта между «Газпромом» и китайской государственной компанией CNPC. Договоренности компаний предусматривают проведение планового ремонта газопровода два раза в год: весной и осенью. Весенний ремонт проводился 29 марта - 4 апреля, а осенний – в период 22-29 сентября.

В декабре «Газпром» ввел в эксплуатацию на «Силе Сибири» четыре новые компрессорные станции: «Иван Ребров», «Максим Перфильев», «Василий Поярков» и «Василий Колесников». Таким образом, общее число компрессорных станций увеличилось до восьми.

В текущем году «Газпром» планирует нарастить прокачку газа по «Силе Сибири» на 40% по сравнению с 2021 г., до 14 млрд м³. Трубопровод введен в строй в декабре 2019 г. и рассчитан на транспортировку 42 млрд м³/год газа, в том числе поставку в Китай 38 млрд м³/год. Но объем поставок будет увеличиваться постепенно, и полная загрузка трубопровода ожидается только в 2025 г. В следующем году «Газпром» собирается повысить прокачку газа по «Силе Сибири» до 21-22 млрд м³: рост поставок ожидается благодаря запуску Ковыкты и увеличению добычи на Чаянде.

Запасы Чаянды и Ковыкты представляют собой многокомпонентный газ. Для разделения этого сырья на фракции «Газпром» направляет его на Амурский ГПЗ, который находится ближе к конечной точке «Силы Сибири» и на котором уже введены в строй две технологические линии из шести. Мощность каждой линии по сырью составляет 7 млрд м³/год, а общая мощность Амурского ГПЗ в 2025 г. должна достичь 42 млрд м³/год. Получая газ по «Силе Сибири», Амурский ГПЗ перерабатывает это сырье, выделяя из него метан, этан, пропан, бутан, гелий и пентан-гексановую фракцию. В частности, каждая линия должна обеспечивать выпуск 6-6,5 млрд м³/год товарного газа.

Cop: 80 nations back roadmap on shift from fossil fuels

Cop: 80 nations back roadmap on shift from fossil fuels

Belem, 18 November (Argus) — Around 80 countries are asking the UN Cop 30 climate summit's Brazilian presidency to put a roadmap to transition away from fossil fuels on the negotiating table, after an initial draft text released today included only "weak" mentions. The current reference to the roadmap in the text is "weak" and only presented as an option in the main text released today , climate envoy for the Marshall Islands Tina Stege said, speaking for negotiating bloc the alliance of small island states (Aosis). Developing and developed nations as well as island states are supporting the call. The text follows consultations on four topics sitting outside the official conference agenda and sets out options — with various degrees of strength — on the phase-out of fossil fuels and climate finance, including options for no text at all. UK climate envoy Rachel Kyte said that the objective of a meeting today is to make clear to the Brazilian presidency that this coalition of countries is not going to go home without clarity about a roadmap on implementing the outcome from Cop 28 in 2023. Parties at Cop 28 agreed to a call "to transition away from fossil fuels in energy systems, in a just, orderly and equitable manner, accelerating action in this critical decade, so as to achieve net zero by 2050 in keeping with the science". German environment minister Carsten Schneider called on other countries to join the coalition. "We want a [Cop 30] outcome that addresses the transition away from fossil fuels in a just and inclusive way," he said, adding that so do "most of [his] European friends", without naming specific countries. "We are saying with one voice that this is an issue that cannot be ignored, cannot be swept under the carpet, and this is where the momentum is", the UK's energy minister Ed Miliband said. He called for the roadmap to be at "the heart of Cop 30". Supporting the call should "also emphasise the importance of providing access to energy for those who don't have it", Kenya's special envoy for climate change Ali Mohamed said. The issue is also economical, Sierra Leone's environment minister Jiwoh Abdulai said. "The cost of adaptation is increasing much faster than we can afford. Insurance markets are going to collapse, even in the developed countries, because insurance companies are not going to want to underwrite a lot of these risks", he said. It is in all countries' interest, including those with economies dependent on fossil fuels, to strengthen co-operation to transition away from fossil fuels, Sweden's lead negotiator Matthias Frumerie said. Individual countries' roadmaps should include the phase out of fossil fuel subsidies, Colombia's environment minister Irene Velez-Torres. Allocating some of these subsidies to the roadmap against deforestation would be a major step, she added. Colombia was an early champion of a roadmap to phase out fossil fuels. Another key issue is figuring out how to replace extractive economies in producing countries and financing, she said. Colombia is calling for the language in the text to be more definite. "What we have so far is that draft that has room for improvement, but it can end up like an onion: you peel back the layers and in the end you find nothing," Velez-Torres said. One negotiator suggested that the text released by the presidency was weighted and that calls for a roadmap were ignored.

Cop: Presidency tackles key issues in first draft text

Cop: Presidency tackles key issues in first draft text

Belem, 18 November (Argus) — The Brazilian presidency of the UN Cop 30 summit has released a first draft text focused on the controversial issues that were left out of the conference's main agenda. The text represents a significant step forward in negotiations, but multiple options are offered for the main sticking points, suggesting that consensus is still lacking. The issues tackled include climate finance from developed to developing nations, unilateral trade measures, and moving away from fossil fuels. The presidency released a package of texts today, aiming to reach conclusion on several elements tomorrow. It included the first presidency draft text, following discussions on unilateral trade measures, climate finance, responses to countries' climate plans and emissions reporting — the four topics sitting outside the official conference agenda. The text sets out options — with various degrees of strength — on fossil fuels and climate finance, including options for no text at all. A menu of multiple options is normal at this stage of the talks. It is now up to delegations to find compromise, with another round of consultations scheduled today. One paragraph mentions the sharing of "domestic opportunities and success stories on the just, orderly and equitable transition towards low carbon solutions". There is also an option recalling the central paragraph of the global stocktake agreed in Dubai , which called for a move away from fossil fuels. This option suggests "convening" a high-level ministerial round table on different pathways and approaches "with a view to supporting countries to developed just, orderly and equitable transition roadmaps, including to progressively overcome their dependency on fossil fuels and towards halting and reversing deforestation". The option echoes previous calls for a roadmap to transition away from fossil fuels, made in the early days of Cop 30. The text also touches on a potential response to the latest round of countries' climate plans, and their alignment with the Paris Agreement. One option calls on countries to accelerate action on the Dubai call, which is reiterated in full in the text. Others mention a "Global Implementation Accelerator" report and a "Belem Roadmap to 1.5[°C]". The latter refers to the Paris Agreement's most ambitious goal of holding the global rise in temperature to 1.5°C above pre-industrial levels, and appears a softer option than a specific roadmap on moving away from fossil fuels. The texts are a "credible package capable of delivering meaningful Cop 30 outcomes" and represent "a substantial starting point", associate director at energy think-tank E3G Kaysie Brown said. A key sticking point in negotiations overall could be on finance for adaptation — adjusting to climate change where possible — according to director of international climate action at non-profit WRI David Waskow. Developing countries are calling for adaptation finance provided by developed nations to reach $120bn/yr by 2030 — up from a goal of $40bn this year. The draft text's elements on unilateral trade measures are "positive", as they invite more consideration, Waskow said. Developed countries seem opposed to going beyond the climate finance deal struck at Cop 29 , but are mostly supportive of language on shifting away from fossil fuels, global policy lead at civil society organisation Oil Change International Romain Ioualalen said. "Parties eyeing an outcome on fossil fuels will not succeed if they don't send strong signals on finance, adaptation, and the just transition", he said.

DNO reshuffles N Sea assets to generate quick returns

London, 18 November (Argus) — Norway-based upstream producer DNO has agreed to sell its stake in a redevelopment project in the Ekofisk region of the North Sea, while boosting its interest in Norway's Verdande oil and gas discovery and taking a share of a new exploration prospect. The company will divest its 7.6pc stake in the Ekofisk Previously Produced Fields project to Polish refiner Orlen. It will also acquire from Orlen a 20pc interest in a licence that contains the Cassio prospect, and an additional 0.8pc interest in the Verdande discovery. The deals are part of DNO's strategy to focus on short-cycle and less capital-intensive assets. "Our focus is on increasing near-term cash flow with less spend and more barrels more quickly," said DNO executive chairman Bijan Mossavar-Rahmani. Verdande, located in the Norne area of the Norwegian Sea, is scheduled to come online before the end of 2025, while exploration drilling on Cassio in the North Sea is expected to start in late 2026. The Ekofisk redevelopment programme, on the other hand, is not due to start up until 2029. "We have chosen to deploy our share of the significant capital expenditure necessary [for the Ekofisk project] in ways that play to our strengths, namely exploration and rapid-fire development of our existing discoveries," said Mossavar-Rahmani. Cassio sits directly north of a DNO-operated licence containing the Othello discovery, which the company is considering developing as a tie-back to nearby infrastructure. The transactions follow DNO's $450mn deal to buy Norway's Sval Energi earlier this year , which made the North Sea the biggest contributor to the company's production. DNO's production in July-September increased by 50pc from a year earlier, helping to more than double its revenues. Profits, however, remained broadly flat on the year during the same period, owing to extra production costs in the North Sea.

Tokyo Gas sells Louisiana gas interest to Grayrock

Tokyo, 18 November (Argus) — Japan's gas distributor Tokyo Gas's US subsidiary TG Natural Resources (TGNR) sold its gas exploration and production business in Louisiana to Texas based E&P firm Grayrock Energy. Tokyo Gas said on 17 November that it signed an agreement to sell TGNR's subsidiary called TGNR TVL to Grayrock Energy on 14 November. TGNR TVL is a gas field interest in Louisiana which was acquired from US natural gas producer Range Resources in August 2020. The divestment is part of a portfolio review aimed at improving asset efficiency, Tokyo Gas said. Grayrock paid $255mn to acquire the Louisiana gas asset and transaction is planned to complete on 31 December 2025. Tokyo Gas sold 25pc stake of another subsidiary in Texas to Japanese gas distributor Shizuoka Gas in February. It explained the reason of the sale to also be a part of a review of its portfolio aimed at improving asset efficiency. Tokyo Gas plans to focus on the business of its assets in east Texas and north Louisiana . By Reina Maeda Send comments and request more information at feedback@argusmedia.com Copyright © 2025.

Chile turning right in presidential elections

Santiago, 16 November (Argus) — Far right Juan Antonio Kast and communist Jeannette Jara, who represents a coalition of left and centrist parties, got the most votes in Chile's presidential elections on Sunday and will face each other in a runoff on 14 December. Forecasts call for 59-year-old Kast, founder of the Republican Party of Chile, to comfortably beat 51-year-old Jara in the second round by picking up the votes of other rightwing candidates. Combined this would give Kast more than 50pc of the vote. Jara was chosen to run for president in a center-left primary and faced no real contenders on the left in the first round. With almost 78pc of polling stations counted, Jara led with 27pc of the votes against Kast's 24pc but far from the 50pc required to win outright. Concerns about rising crime and immigration have dominated the campaign. Kast promises an "emergency government" that would use physical barriers to shut the border to illegal immigrants, expel undocumented migrants and crack down on organized crime. He has attacked Jara, a former minister in leftwing President Gabriel Boric's government, for representing continuity to an unpopular government. Boric's approval rating is 30pc. Jara has tried to distance herself from the Boric government and raised the possibility of renouncing or suspending her communist party membership if elected. Populist Franco Parisi placed a surprising third with around 19pc of the votes, Johannes Kaiser who is to the right of Kast picked up 14pc and center-right former mayor Evelyn Matthei, once a front-runner, scraped 13pc. Jara's result is well below the 30pc ceiling her team expected and unlikely to provide sufficient momentum to win enough voters put off by the ultraconservative Kast who opposes abortion and same-sex marriage. An admirer of Chile's former authoritarian dictator Augusto Pinochet, Kast has promised to cut public spending by $6bn in 18 months — the equivalent to 1.7pc of GDP — and reduce corporate tax to 23pc from 27pc. Jara says she will boost the minimum wage, ease permitting and build Chile's green hydrogen potential and massive copper and lithium resources to attract foreign investment. She also promises to cut electricity rates by 20pc for the first 85kWh of consumption per month. The right's strong showing in the presidential election suggests it will also do well in the congressional elections for the chamber of deputies and half of the senate, with votes still being counted. Earlier polls suggested the right could win a majority in both houses. By Emily Russell Send comments and request more information at feedback@argusmedia.com Copyright © 2025. Argus Media group .
