“Gazprom” does not leave the idea of ​​building a complex for polyethylene production in the Astrakhan region. The company ordered a study investment in the petrochemical industry. Monopoly for about ten years considering the idea of ​​polyethylene production, in 2008 the project of the complex was submitted to the Government of the Astrakhan region. But while working on this idea is far advanced. The raw materials for the new plant should be ethane and LPG from the Astrakhan gas processing plant after its reconstruction. Applications for the preparation of study will be accepted until November 14, summing up – 26 November. As noted in the documents of the company, we propose to take into account the current status of the work on attracting Sibur to the implementation of the project, the technology development project of the Astrakhan gas condensate field (LLC “Gazprom mining Astrakhan”), as well as documentation of the expansion of production of gas condensate processing at Astrakhan Gas Processing Plant. The project can be implemented using the methods of project financing and reconstruction of gas processing plant – due to capital expenditures of “Gazprom”.
