Novatek-LNG Fuel Kashira LLC has almost completed construction of a mini liquefied natural gas (LNG) plant in the Kashira special economic zone in Moscow Region, as per Interfax.
Inspectors have found that the facility is "99%" completed, with experts "finalizing commissioning work on process equipment and engineering systems," Glavgosstroynadzor said.
Construction of the 3,000-square-meter facility began in January 2023 and was scheduled for completion at the end of 2023.
The CEO of Russian LNG producer Novatek , Leonid Mikhelson and Moscow Region Governor Andrei Vorobyov signed an investment agreement on the project at the 2022 St. Petersburg International Economic Forum. It calls for building a plant with capacity to produce 14,000 tonnes of fuel per year at a cost of about 2.6 billion rubles.
We remind, Russian energy company Novatek resumed gas condensate processing at its Ust-Luga complex on Feb. 11, two industry sources said on Wednesday, after the site was damaged last month by a suspected Ukrainian drone attack. The complex processed about 18,000 metric tons of gas condensate over Feb. 11-12, the sources said. Novatek did not respond immediately to a request for comment.
