LUKOIL AND PARTNERS INTRODUCE A COMPLEX SCHEME
TO TRANSPORT GAS CONDENSATE FROM THE KHAUZAK FIELD IN UZBEKISTAN
LUKOIL Overseas, Uzbekneftegaz and the Jarkurgan refinery plant have
successfully introduced multimodal transportation of gas condensate produced at
the Khauzak field in Bukhara Region of the Republic of Uzbekistan.
The scheme provides for piping the condensate from Khauzak to the North Urtabulak rail-loading terminal, loading into tank
trucks, transportation to the Mubarek gas processing plant, transshipment into
rail tank cars and shipment to the Jarkurgan refinery plant. The
technological cycle of transportation includes pipeline, refinery and automobile
transportation services, as well as Uzbekistan Railroads. The volume of
transportation of condensate will reach 25,000 tons per year.
The project's products, natural gas, sulfur and gas condensate, shall be
supplied to LUKOIL Overseas Supply & Trading Ltd., which sells them in the
interests of all project partners, including the Government of Republic of
Uzbekistan, LUKOIL Overseas and Uzbekneftegaz. Earlier, the Khauzak field
development plan provided for transportation of the condensate via the oil
pipeline. However, in order to improve the return on sales it was decided to
divide the crude oil and condensate streams and build a loading terminal at the
North Urtabulak field.
