In Q1, Sibur increased liquefied hydrocarbon gases production by 5%

In Q1, Sibur increased liquefied hydrocarbon gases production by 5.2% to 1.08 million tons, and exports by 25.8% to 622,220 tons, and internal supplies by 9.5% to 205,730 tons without the inner-corporative sales.

The growth in liquefied hydrocarbon gases production in Q1 is connected with the launch of the gas fractioning utility GFU-2 at Tobolsk-Neftechem that enlarged the capacities of the plant to 6.6 million tons from 3.8 million tons a year. Liquefied hydrocarbon gases exports increased because of the almost full loading of the Ust-Luga terminal for LNG transshipment launched in 2013.

Associated oil gas processing, concerning the plants participating in Yugragazpererabotka, the former joint venture with Rosneft, increased by 3.4% to 5.04 billion cubic m.

Liquefied hydrocarbon sales including liquefied hydrocarbon gases, nafta and wide fraction of light hydrocarbons increased by 40.5% to 1.54 million tons.
