Cooperation with JSC "Gazpromneft-Moscow Refinery" has become a visiting card for JSC "Promfinstroy" in the oil refining industry. Over the past years, the production base of the holding has been built on the territory of the Moscow Oil Refinery, and the builders' camp is also located here. All this allows us to quickly solve the tasks that the management of the plant for the repair and maintenance of technological equipment sets for the General Contractor. One of the complex overhauls - fifteen process units were stopped at the same time - was carried out at the Moscow Oil Refinery in fifty days in the spring of 2008. To implement the project, the holding attracted its own resources from the capital construction departments of Ryazan and Yaroslavl, subcontractors to the plant. By the time the builders arrived, the rented industrial areas were repaired and the most comfortable living conditions were created.

"Sophisticated and prestigious"

RBC managed to find out the details of the contract that Gazprom signed with the Chinese state corporation China Gezhouba Group Corporation during the visit of Chinese President Xi Jinping to Moscow on July 4. The Corporation will build and install cryogenic gas separation units at the Amur Gas Processing Plant (GPP), which will become the largest plant in Russia.

The contract was concluded in euros, its amount was 1.3 billion (86 billion rubles, or 10 billion yuan), the company said on the Shanghai Stock Exchange. The work will be carried out for almost seven years - from July 2017 to March 2024.

Contract for 790 billion rubles.

The design capacity of the Amur GPP, the first stage of which is to be built in 2021, will be 42 billion cubic meters. m of gas per year. It will be one of the largest gas processing plants in the world. The gas processing plant will refine raw materials intended for delivery to China via the Power of Siberia gas pipeline. The GPP will also include helium production — up to 60 million cubic meters. m per year.

The investor and customer of the Amur GPP project is Gazprom's subsidiary, Gazprom Pererabotka Blagoveshchensk. The project is managed by OAO NIPIgaz, which signed an EPCM contract for the construction of the Amur GPP for 790 billion rubles. Several foreign companies are also involved in the project, including Germany's Linde, Italy's Tecnimont, and China's China Petroleum Engineering & Construction Corporation and Sinopec.

NIPIgaz selected a contractor in several stages: first, it received a feasibility study for the project from the largest companies capable of attracting project financing, then it held three rounds of technical and commercial negotiations, selecting three finalists, and the winner was selected after another series of negotiations, RBC said representative of NIPIgaz. At the last stage, the “daughter” of the Chinese CNPC and Sinopec fought for this contract with Gezhouba, two bidders and a consultant for the participants told RBC. “The project is complex and prestigious, a fierce struggle unfolded for it, Sinopec fought to the last,” says one of them. But among other things, NIPIgaz put forward a demand to mobilize equipment and people at the construction site within a month, since Vladimir Putin is expected at the facility in two months, he says. Sinopec was unable to fulfill this requirement, and Gezhouba promptly delivered the equipment to the site, RBC's interlocutor explains.

Gezhouba has been monitoring the Amur GPP construction project for more than three years and has been working on documentation for it for a year and a half, a source in the corporation told RBC. Representatives of Gezhouba met with customers 15 times, but until the last moment it was not clear who would get the contract, RBC's interlocutor recalls. “Negotiations were tough and exhausting, it turned out to be very difficult to enter the Russian market,” adds a source in the corporation.

Assistant from Croatia

Gezhouba and Velesstroy actually entered the competition as a consortium, although it was not legally formalized, two interlocutors of RBC say. Velesstroy helped the Chinese partner urgently issue labor quotas and obtain the necessary permits from Gazprom's subsidiary Gaznadzor, one of the interlocutors notes. As a result, Velesstroy can subcontract about half of the amount of work or a little more, the interlocutors explain. The exact amount of the contract between the Gezhouba Group and the subcontractor will be determined within two weeks, says a RBC source close to Gazprom.

Velesstroy was established in 2008, 99% of the shares are owned by the Cypriot offshore Waveform Investments Ltd, another 1% belongs to Ekaterina Pavlyuk. Croatian businessman Mihailo Perenchevich is considered the owner of Velesstroy, Forbes magazine wrote. Velesstroy built the facilities of the first and second stages of the Eastern Siberia-Pacific Ocean pipeline, the Zapolyarye-Purpe pipeline, the Baltic pipeline system, and is now participating in the construction of the Yamal LNG plant and the Antipinsky Oil Refinery. In 2017, the company signed contracts for 60.9 billion rubles, mainly with Transneft structures, according to SPARK-Interfax data. Velesstroy is also known for renting a complex of facilities on the Black Sea coast in 2011, known as "Putin's Palace."

​Not the first try

Gezhouba Group is a Chinese state-owned corporation that operates worldwide, according to its website. Founded in 1970, it is engaged in the construction of power plants, including hydro, wind, nuclear and thermal power plants, as well as builds roads, airports and railway infrastructure, bridges, ports, etc. In 2016, the company's revenue amounted to $15 billion, profit - $511 million.

Gezhouba has been looking for projects in Russia for more than five years, says Oleg Demikhov, president of the Sino-Rus Association for the Development of International Trade and Economic Relations. And the company clearly does not intend to stop at the contract for the construction of the Amur GPP. “We plan to focus on development in Russia, especially on oil and gas, energy and infrastructure projects,” a representative of the Russian office of Gezhouba told RBC.

All previous attempts by Gezhouba to enter the Russian market were unsuccessful. At the end of 2015, the Chinese state corporation, together with Oleg Deripaska's Eurosibenergo, was going to build the Telmam hydroelectric power station with a capacity of 450 MW, but the project was never implemented. Eurosibenergo continues to study possible joint projects with a Chinese partner, a representative of the Russian company told RBC. Gezhouba also wanted to build small hydropower plants in Karelia together with Nordhydro. “The Chinese company planned to become a co-investor and contractor during the construction, but as a result, we chose another Chinese partner, Sinomeс,” recalls Nordhydro's top manager. According to him, Gezhouba wanted to get the exclusive right to negotiate and then discuss the details, which put Nordhydro in a disadvantageous position. “They are unconditional professionals, but it is difficult to negotiate with Chinese state corporations,” says RBC’s interlocutor.

Chinese contractors have already built facilities on the Russian market. For example, in June, the Huadian-Teninskaya CHPP was launched in Yaroslavl, which was built by TGC-2 (controls the project) and the Chinese Huadian (received 49%), says Demikhov. But, in his opinion, Chinese investors lack a systematic approach to working with Russia, this is due to the specifics of the state ownership structure in China: the results of work are needed quickly, and unjustified expenses are not welcome.

Our company is to carry out the construction of reinforced concrete structures at the Omsk Oil Refinery

Our specialists have begun to carry out preparatory work on the installation of foundations for modern ELOU AVT oil processing units.

The capacity of the complex will be 8.4 million tons per year (for oil) and 1.2 million tons per year (for stable gas condensate) - the new CDU-AVT will become one of the largest primary oil processing units in Russia. Investments in the project, provided for by the Gazprom Neft refinery modernization program, will amount to about 40 billion rubles. Currently, the ONPZ is implementing the second stage of the modernization program (2016-2020), aimed at increasing the depth of oil refining and the yield of light oil products, as well as consistently increasing the level of industrial and environmental safety of the enterprise.
The new ELOU-AVT complex will include six sections, including a separate unit for the processing of stable gas condensate (SGK). This will increase the volume of SGK processing and involve additional volumes of condensate in the production of gasoline and diesel fuel of the Euro-5 standard, as well as jet fuel.

It is planned that ELOU-AVT will be put into operation by the beginning of 2019, after which six units of primary oil processing of the previous generation will be removed from the process chain of the ONPZ. This will reduce the impact of oil refining production on the environment to a minimum. The project applied a number of advanced environmental solutions - in particular, continuous monitoring of flue gases of process furnaces and purification of gas fractions from sulfur-containing compounds. The closed equipment drainage system envisaged by the project will allow redirecting the extracted oil products for processing, reducing the output of fuel oil. CELOU-AVT will also meet modern industrial safety requirements by automating processes, equipping the facility with warning, alarm, video surveillance and public address systems.
“The commissioning of a new complex for primary oil refining will create a stable raw material base for the refinery's projects aimed at increasing the depth of oil refining. Renovation of technological capacities will increase the energy efficiency of primary oil refining and will help maintain the volume of oil refining at the level set by the development strategy of Gazprom Neft, said Oleg Belyavsky, General Director of Gazpromneft-ONPZ.
