History

2024: Completion of the plant construction for 1 trillion rubles

On September 12, 2024, Gazprom announced the completion of the construction of the Amur Gas Processing Plant. In particular, the fourth production line was launched.

The new gas processing plant is one of the largest in the world. The company is located in the area of ​ ​ the city of Free Amur Region. The plant is an important link in the technological chain of natural gas supplies to China through the Power of Siberia gas pipeline. The company receives multi-component gas from the Chayandinskoye field in Yakutia and Kovyktinsky in the Irkutsk region. Investments in the project to create a plant exceed 1 trillion rubles.

This is a capital-intensive and knowledge-intensive project. Over one trillion rubles the cost of the entire project. I am sure that last of all, as planned, in 2024-2025 this huge enterprise with an area of ​ ​ more than 900 hectares will be launched - said Russian President Vladimir Putin.

The basic principle that was originally laid down in the creation of the enterprise is that the processing of gas transported by the Power of Siberia should be carried out on the territory of the Russian Federation. The plant aims to achieve the following:

· Design capacity for natural gas processing - 42 billion cubic meters per year;

· Helium production - up to 60 million cubic meters per year;

· Ethane production - about 2.4 million tons per year;

· Propane production - approximately 1 million tons per year;

· Butane production - about 500 thousand tons per year.

· Production of pentane-hexane fraction - about 200 thousand tons per year.

From 2025, the company will reach full design capacity. In addition to the construction of technological plants and UIO facilities, the project includes the creation of access roads, railway communications, a pier on the Zee River and a residential district in Svobodny for workers.[1]

2021: Court convicts workers for rioting over delayed salaries

In July 2021, the court appointed real terms for the workers of the Amur Gas Processing Plant, one of Gazprom's largest megaprojects worth almost a trillion rubles. Nine employees of the enterprise were found guilty in the case of riots (part 2 of article 212 of the Criminal Code). The builders quarreled with the management of the plant and staged a riot in July 2020 due to delayed salaries.

According to investigators, the cause of the conflict was "reimbursement of labor patents." Without agreeing with top managers, the workers staged a pogrom in offices, a store, communication salons and residential premises located on the territory of the plant, investigators say.

Six people received one and a half years in prison, three - one year and seven months in prison. "In relation to other active participants in the riots, criminal cases are considered in court," the UK reports.

The press service of the plant linked the riot with "financial claims of a number of employees to the management of a contracting organization" - the company "Reneissance Heavy Industries." Initially, the Office of the Investigative Committee for the Amur Region opened a criminal case on hooliganism (part 2 of article 213 of the Criminal Code), but later retrained it to a more serious article. How many accused in the case is unclear: initially, 11 detainees were reported, and in January 2021 it became known that 25 people were already under arrest.

In 2020, several major Gazprom projects at once faced riots and labor conflicts due to restrictions on the COVID-19 pandemic and financial issues. So, in April, employees of the Chayandinskoye field of Gazprom in Yakutia rebelled, quarantined. They complained about the quality of the dining room, unacceptable living conditions, the lack of protective equipment and the inability to leave the enterprise. In November, the strike was announced by shift workers who were building the N4 Ivan Moskvitin compressor station in the Aldansky district of Yakutia. Workers involved in the Power of Siberia project, with which Russia hopes to become a major gas supplier to China, complained about non-payment of salaries and violations of the terms of the employment contract.
