Project details

• Operator:
• Owner: YATEC PJSC, Globaltec LLC
• Parent company: A-Property, Zhejiang Provincial Energy Group Co Ltd
• Capacity: 28 bcm/y
• Length: 1358 kilometers
• Diameter:
• Status: Proposed
• Start year: 2027
• Cost: 5 billion EUR
• Financing: A-Property, Zhejiang Energy
• Associated infrastructure: Srednevilyuiskoye, Mastakhskoye, Tolonskoye, Tymtaidakhskoye gas condensate fields, other licensed areas of Yatek PJSC

Background

The pipeline is intended to transport gas from existing gas fields (Srednevilyuiskoye, Mastakhskoye, Tolonskoye, Tymtaidakhskoye gas condensate fields, and other licensed areas of YATEC PJSC) to an LNG refinery in Ayan, Khabarovsk Krai. The project will involve construction of a gas pipeline from central Sakha-Yakutiya (sections Kysyl-Syr - Amga and Amga - Ayan) to the coast of the Sea of ​​Okhotsk, construction of 3 intermediate compressor stations and potential connection of 14 residential areas to gas supply. The project's developer is Globaltec (YATEC 49%, A-Property 51%). A-Property also controls YATEC. Zhejiang Energy of China took a 10% stake in the Yakutiya LNG project in January 2022. This includes stakes in both YATEC itself and Globaltec.

The project involves two phases:

Phase 1: Construction of an 8.9 mtpa LNG plant (2 x 4.5 mtpa trains), gas condensate production will amount to 0.8 million tons/year. Construction of the 1358-km pipeline to Ayan in Khabarovsk Territory with two compressor stations, drilling more than 100 wells for production of 15 bcm/year of gas.

Phase 2: Increase LNG production capacity up to 18 mtpa, and for condensate - up to 1.5 million tons/year, increase gas production capacity - up to over 28 bcm/year and add one more compressor station.

In January 2022, a consortium consisting of Japan’s JGC and Norway’s Aker Solutions has won a front-end engineering design contract for the project. Design work has already started and is expected to last 2 years. A-Property expects to take a final investment decision on the first phase of the project at the end of 2023 and to complete the project by 2027. As of July 2023, the front-end engineering design is ongoing and is expected to be completed in the fall of 2023. YATEC continues to search for a strategic partner for the implementation of the project. According to the company's 2022 Annual Report, the Yakutiya LNG project is under development. With the launch of the project, YATEC hopes to begin LNG supplies to the markets of China, India, Japan and South Korea by 2035.
