On December 11, KMG PetroChem and Tengizchevroil signed an updated dry gas sale and purchase agreement, which provides for additional improved guarantees for the supply of raw materials.
In particular, TCO will supply up to 9 billion m³ of dry gas per year to the gas processing plant (GPP) in the Atyrau region. Ethane extracted from dry gas will be used as raw material at a polyethylene production plant (the Polyethylene project in the Atyrau region) with a capacity of 1.25 million tons per year.
The projects for the construction of a gas separation unit (GSU) and a polyethylene production plant are not only anchor projects, but are unique for the country in terms of their scale and technology.
Projects of this kind are being implemented in Kazakhstan for the first time. It is planned that the GSU will allow extracting at least 98% of ethane from dry gas, and the polyethylene plant will produce premium quality products.
