Kirinskoye Gas and Condensate Field Development

«Sakhalin-3» — perspective O&G project at Sakhalin Island shore. «Sakhalin-3» includes four deposit blocks at Okhotsk Sea offshore: Kirin, Venin, Ayash and East-Odoptu. Kirin gas condensate deposit was discovered in 1992. It’s situated 28 km east of Sakhalin Island. Depth in Kirin deposit area is 91 m; it implies that unique so-called sub-sea technologies were used during its development. Underwater extraction complexes weighting around 400 tons were set up at sea bottom. The Complex includes six production wells. Such extraction complexes are used in Russia for the first time.

When project is finished gas mixed with condensate and water will be directed to the land technological complex which is being built at Noglik area 6 km away from shore. Then gas will go to the main compressor station via pipeline and further to «Sakhalin — Khabarovsk — Vladivostok» gas transportation system. Condensate will be routed into existing «Sakhalin Energy» pipeline.

The project’s operator is Gazprom, which is running various stages of the project involving such major contractors as: Jan De Nul, Gazflot, FMC Technologies, Gazprom Dobycha Shelf, Mezhregiontruboprovodstroy and others.

During 2012, ОТС has been participating in works related to development of Kirin deposit. As a part of this project, ОТС acted as a key subcontractor for one of the Jan De Nul group’s companies in Primorsky Krai. Works included:

• Coordination of manufacturing, transportation and loading of various fractions of crushed stone aggregates for scour protection;
• Quality control of provided crushed stone aggregates;
• Husbandry services;
• Naval agency services for contractor’s fleet;
• Repairs and upgrade of loading equipment;
• Procurement of various goods.
