Gazprom Neft lets contract for Omsk refinery delayed coker
Feb. 15, 2018
Gazprom Neft has let a contract to Maire Tecnimont subsidiaries for work related to a project designed to expand delayed coking capacity at its 21.4 million-tonne/year Omsk refinery in Western Siberia as part of the operator’s ongoing modernization program to reduce environmental impacts and improve processing capacities, conversion rates, energy efficiency, and production qualities at the site.
PJSC Gazprom Neft has let a contract to Maire Tecnimont SPA subsidiaries for work related to a project designed to expand delayed coking capacity at its 21.4 million-tonne/year Omsk refinery in Western Siberia as part of the operator’s ongoing modernization program to reduce environmental impacts and improve processing capacities, conversion rates, energy efficiency, and production qualities at the site (OGJ Online, Dec. 9, 2013).
Tecnimont SPA and Tecnimont Russia LLC will deliver engineering, procurement, and construction management (EPCm) services for implementation of a new delayed coking complex with a feed capacity of 2 million tpy, Maire Tecnimont said on Feb. 15.
With an overall value of about $215 million on a multicurrency basis, the EPCm contract was awarded under a lump-sum scheme for the EP phase and a reimbursable scheme for the Cm phase, according to the service provider.
Maire Tecnimont plans to complete its scope of work on the project within a tight schedule of 29 months from the contract-signing date due to availability of most long-lead items, which Gazprom Neft previously purchased and installed at the site (OGJ Online, July 26, 2017).
Part of Gazprom Neft’s second-phase Omsk modernization works, the new delayed coking complex—which aims to expand capacity for conversion of heavy residues to maximize liquids production and enable production of anode-grade quality coke—joins Gazprom Neft’s final installation of major equipment in July 2017 for the 2 million-tpy advanced oil refining complex (AORC) as well as a project to upgrade and expand the refinery’s existing delayed coker (OGJ Online, Sept. 22, 2017; July 12, 2017).
