The official signing ceremony of the previously awarded Tengiz Gas Separation Complex (GSC) project was held recently at KMG PetroChem headquarters in the Atyrau region of Kazakhstan. The ceremony was attended by representatives of KMG PetroChem and MAIRE’s subsidiary TECNIMONT, which is leading the consortium that is developing the project.
The Tengiz Gas Separation Complex (GSC) project’s scope of work includes engineering, procurement, construction, and commissioning works. TECNIMONT will be mainly responsible for the Engineering, Procurement, and Commissioning.
Completion is expected by the first quarter of 2029. Once completed, the gas processed by the GSC will feed the Silleno petrochemical plant (2nd phase production – polyethylene), another project currently being executed by TECNIMONT in the region.
KMG PetroChem, a fully owned subsidiary of Kazakhstan’s O&G national company KazMunayGas, leads petrochemical development projects across the country. Both the GSC and the Sileno petrochemical complex are pioneering initiatives in the country, also in terms of scale and technology, as this is the first time that projects of this kind and magnitude are implemented in Kazakhstan. The GSC is designed to recover at least 98% of ethane from dry gas, while the Silleno complex is expected to deliver high-quality petrochemical products.
