NOVATEK to construct transshipment complex in Ust-Luga

Sochi, 21 September, 2007. OAO NOVATEK announced today that it has signed an agreement with OAO Ust-Luga for the construction of a terminal for the transshipment and fractionation of stable gas condensate produced by OOO NOVATEK-Purovsky Processing Plant. The agreement was signed within the framework of the Sixth International Investment Forum Sochi — 2007. The document was signed by Valery Izrayilit, Chairman of the Board of Directors, on behalf of OAO Ust-Luga and Leonid Mikhelson, Chairman of the Management Board, on behalf of OAO NOVATEK.

The new complex, located in the North West Region of Russia, will have an estimated throughput capacity of 6 million tons per annum and will expand the Company’s existing gas condensate value chain. The construction of a fractionation unit within the new complex will allow NOVATEK to export high quality refined products rather than raw materials. The estimated cost to construct the complex is approximately 9.6 billion rubles.


PAO NOVATEK is one of the largest independent natural gas producers in Russia, and in 2017, entered the global LNG market by successfully launching the Yamal LNG project. Founded in 1994, the Company is engaged in the exploration, production, processing and marketing of natural gas and liquid hydrocarbons. Upstream activities of the Company’s subsidiaries and joint ventures are concentrated mainly in the prolific Yamal-Nenets Autonomous Area, which is the world’s largest natural gas producing area and accounts for approximately 80% of Russia’s natural gas production and approximately 15% of the world’s gas production. NOVATEK is a public joint stock company established under the laws of the Russian Federation.
