At the Yamburg gas-oil-condensate field booster compressor station № 1 of the second stage was put into operation which became the fiftieth station constructed by OAO Stroytransgaz.
The total capacity of the station makes up 96 megawatt.
The customer of the project is OOO Yamburggazdobycha, a subsidiary of OAO Gazprom.
Construction of this booster compressor station was necessitated to maintain at the field the planned production level of gas. The booster compressor stations of the first stage were designed for stabilization of gas pressure at the fields where its level is being declined to the point of 56 atm. The compressor stations of the second stage are functioning at lower pressure which corresponds to 45 atm. Operation of booster compressor station № 1at the Yamburg field allows one to maintain the gas production of the first field at the planned production level for 5-7 more years.
At present at the Yamburg gas-oil-condensate field the specialists of OAO Stroytransgaz are engaged in construction of booster compressor stations № 3, № 4 and № 7 of the second stage.
Commissioning of four new booster compressor stations is equal to the commencement of operation of a completely new gas field with the production capacity of 20-25 billion m3 of gas per year and with much less capital investments (4-5 times less).
It was in 1995 when Stroytransgaz started construction of powerful booster compressor stations at the Yamburg fields. During the past period the company constructed at the Yamburg fields seven booster compressor stations of first and second sages with a total capacity of 624 megawatt.
During the years of its existence OAO Stroytransgaz constructed, reconstructed and updated 50 main and booster compressor stations with a total capacity of 2863 megawatt and this allowed one to increase considerably the volumes of production and supply of the Russian gas to the home and foreign markets.
