SIBUR-Ust Luga sale and feedstock exports
The sale of SIBUR’s terminal at Ust-Luga (Leningrad region) to a consortium of investors is close to completion. In May last year it was officially announced that SIBUR and a consortium of investors, who included Russian Direct Investment Fund, Gazprombank and a number of other companies had agreed to sell the terminal in Ust-Luga.
In accordance with the agreements SIBUR will have exclusive rights to use 100% of the capacity of the terminal for transhipment of liquefied petroleum gas (LPG) at the pre-agreed conditions by the parties. Operational management of the complex will be carried out jointly by the consortium and SIBUR. The terminal in Ust-Luga was launched in the summer of 2013. Its capacity allows to handle 1.5 million tpa of LPG and 2.5 million tpa of light oil.
On 24 September this year SIBUR-Trans launched its first 9,000-ton train with stable natural gasoline from Tobolsk to Ust-Luga. The train consists of 108 railcars including a length of 1,350 metres. SIBUR-Trans is going to arrange regular shipments of 9,000-ton trains.
In the first half of 2015, SIBUR’s LPG exports by volume increased due to a 16.6% rise in production, which was partially offset by higher supplies to the petrochemicals business. The increase in production volumes was a result of higher fractionation following the capacity expansion at Tobolsk in the first quarter of 2014 and expanded access to the additional volumes of crude NGL via the newly launched pipeline (Purovsky-Tobolsk) at the end of 2014.
