Rosneft: Starts the Implementation of the Vostok Oil Energy Supply Project
Rosneft has started design work and a complex of engineering surveys for key Vostok Oil energy facilities. Autonomous power supply of the project facilities will be provided through the construction of its own power plants with a total capacity of about 3.5 GW. This is the highest indicator among the enterprises of the country’s oil-extracting industry.
The power supply system of the Company’s largest production project provides for the construction of 13 power plants with a total installed capacity of about 3.5 GW. The most part – about 2.3 GW – will be provided by gas turbine power plants (GTES) Irkinskaya, Baikalovskaya, Vostochno-Suzunskaya and Payakhskaya. The design capacity of the Irkinskaya GTPP, which is included in the list of facilities of the first stage, will be the maximum within the perimeter of Rosneft Oil Company – 867 MW. The new station will provide electricity to the Payakhsky cluster fields and facilities of the oil transportation system.
To provide electricity to the oilfield facilities of the Vostok Oil project, it is planned to build about 200 power substations and more than 7 thousand km of overhead power transmission lines. Among the priority power supply facilities are the 214 MW Bukhty Sever oil power plant, the 110 kV Payakha main oil pumping station (OHPS) substation, and the 110 kV overhead power line from the Irkinskaya gas turbine power plant to the Payakha oil pumping station.
In order to reduce the impact on the environment, only associated petroleum gas will be mainly used to generate electricity at Vostok Oil gas turbine power plants. The project also plans to use wind energy to maximize the transition to the use of “clean” energy with zero greenhouse gas emissions.
