Project Profile
Value: US$700 million
Location: Sakhalin Island off the east coast of Russia
Capacity: 34,000 metric tons (250,000 barrels) of oil and 22.4 million cubic metres (800 million cubic feet) of gas per day.
The OPF\'s capacity is approximately 34,000 metric tons (250,000 barrels) of oil and 22.4 million cubic metres (800 million cubic feet) of gas per day. To construct the OPF a modular approach was used, which helped cut costs significantly and saved at least 18 months of construction time. In less than three years the OPF team had fabricated 36 modules weighing a total of some 40,000 tons, completed two major sea-lifts and off-loads at Chayvo, hooked up the modules and completed plant commissioning and startup. Oil and gas produced from the Sakhalin-1 fields is transported to the Chayvo Onshore Processing Facility (OPF), which stabilises oil for shipment to the international market and gas for supply to the Russian domestic market or reinjection to the field to maintain reservoir pressure. At present, production from the Chayvo and Odoptu fields are feeding the Chayvo Onshore Processing facility, which can handle up to 250 kbd of oil, and 800 million cu ft of natural gas per day.
