Processing
Strategy
Gazprom's prospects as a leader of the global energy industry are closely related to the advancement of hydrocarbon processing methods. The Company's goal is to expand its processing capabilities and high-value-added production.
Processing facilities
The Gazprom Group's processing business is represented by Gazprom's gas and gas condensate processing plants, as well as Gazprom Neft's oil refining facilities. The Group also includes Gazprom Neftekhim Salavat, one of the largest oil refining and petrochemical complexes in Russia. Gazprom continuously upgrades the existing processing facilities and creates new ones. The Amur Gas Processing Plant is currently under construction in the Russian Far East (as of June 2023, the first and second out of six production trains and the first of three helium units are in operation at the plant). In the Leningrad Region, construction of the Complex for processing ethane-containing gas and LNG production is underway in Ust-Luga. These facilities will join the ranks of the largest facilities in the world. The Amur GPP will be the number one global producer of helium, while the complex in Ust-Luga will have the biggest output of liquefied natural gas in Northwestern Europe.
