At the gas turbine power plant No.1 (GTPP-1) of the Rogozhnikovskoye field, ENERGAS specialists commissioned the unique booster compressor unit (BCU) manufactured by the company Enerproject SA. The drive of the gas compressor, in contrast to the traditionally used electric motors, is a diesel engine.



The unit is made in arctic version, and all the main systems (process systems, life support and safety) are mounted inside own enclosure of BCU.

The emergency BCU will be used to restore the operation of the GTPP in the absence of power, which will significantly improve the resiliency and reliability of the power plant, as well as reduce the costs associated with downtime of generating equipment.

In Russia, this is the first unit of this type. It was developed by Swiss engineers according to the individual requirements of the Russian customer (Surgutneftegas OJSC) and takes into account the features of operation in extreme climatic conditions.



GTPP-1 of the Rogozhnikovskoye field was put into operation in late 2008. As a part of power plant there are operating three power generating units based on NK-16ST gas turbine engines with a rated capacity of 16 MW each (manufactured by KMPO) with turbo-generators with a capacity of 12 MW (Electrotyazhmash-Privod).

The power generating units were manufactured by specialists of Sumy NPO named after M.V. Frunze. The installed capacity of the GTPP is 36 MW. The fuel used is associated petroleum gas produced at the field.



Feeding fuel gas to the turbines is carried out by a main compressor station consisting of three Enerproject booster compressor units of hangar (intrashop) type. The BCUs with unit capacity of 5,000 m3 / h are used for final purification and compression of associated petroleum gas of middle pressure coming from the Central Production Facility. The supply of gas compressor equipment and the whole set of pre-start activities were provided by company ENERGAS, an official representative of Enerproject SA in Russia and CIS countries.

REFERENCE. The Rogozhnikovskoye field is located in the Oktyabrsky district of the Khanty-Mansi Autonomous Area. It is in operation since 2005. The development is carried out by the Bystrinskneft Oil and Gas Production Department of Surgutneftegas OJSC. The main difficulty for oilmen is the distance of the oilfield from the city of Surgut to a distance of almost 400 kilometers, as well as difficult geological and climatic conditions.
