By 2030, according to experts, Russia's share in the global LNG market could increase to 15 percent. Liquefied gas that has not yet been produced has already been sold 20 years in advance. And today, despite the sanctions, the Yamal LNG project is not slowing down.

In April, a tour of the construction site was given to the leadership of Yamal municipalities. The heads of cities and districts were invited to see for themselves the scale and prospects of the strategic idea.

The scale of this construction is best seen from the air. Just a couple of years ago there was nothing here except old barracks. And now the village even has its own airport. It opened only in February, but has already received 18 thousand passengers.

Since February of this year, Yamal LNG has been organizing constant passenger flights with the cities of Novy Urengoy and Moscow with the subsequent expansion of the route network. The airport is primarily intended to serve rotational personnel; this year the planned number of passenger traffic will be about 150 thousand people, and in the peak years of the project will exceed 300 thousand people.

The commissioning of a modern international airport, built as part of the large-scale Yamal LNG project, is an important event not only for the Yamalo-Nenets Autonomous Okrug, but also for the whole of Russia. Considering the active development of the Arctic, Sabetta Airport can be widely used in servicing the transportation of passengers and cargo in this remote region, including international ones.

Sabetta International Airport is one of the first Russian Arctic airports built from scratch. The airport corresponds to the first category of ICAO and can accommodate almost all types of aircraft. Sabetta International Airport LLC has a certificate of conformity for the airfield, a certificate of state registration of the airfield, and is certified for all types of airport activities.

All heads of Yamal municipalities gathered in Sabetta for the first time. The tour begins from the territory of the future plant, where there is still a pile field.

Giant reservoirs have already grown nearby, from which liquid gas will be pumped into gas tankers. The guaranteed reserves of the South Tambey field, the gas from which will be processed, are 1.2 trillion cubic meters of blue fuel. The Yamal LNG plant will produce 16.5 million tons of liquefied gas per year. At the same time, a resource base has been prepared that makes it possible today to create a capacity of up to 70 million tons of LNG in the area of ​​the Sabetta port under construction.

About 9 thousand people already work in Sabetta. At the peak of construction there will be 15 thousand of them, and a new one is quickly being built on the site of the old village. The construction has already provided work to many Yamal residents. But the main thing, of course, is ahead.

“Currently, construction is actively underway. 9 thousand people work at the site. In February alone, 65 vessels were received. The project is already at a high level of implementation, probably 30 percent of the main work has been completed, all horizontal work has been completed, piles have been driven, large RVS for liquefied natural gas are being installed,” Dmitry Kobylkin said at a working meeting with Russian President Vladimir Putin in March of this year.

Investment projects being implemented in Yamal, such as Yamal LNG, the Sabetta port, the Bovanenkovskoye field, the Northern Latitudinal Railway and others, are a driver of growth for the Russian economy, so the pace of their implementation should not slow down. This was stated by the Governor of the Tyumen Region Vladimir Yakushev at the IV International Conference “Yamal Neftegaz-2015”, held on the 20th of May in Salekhard.

“The Tyumen region is actively involved in the implementation of investment projects in the district, but the regional government is directing efforts to expand cooperation, in this matter we find understanding both from the leadership of the district and from representatives of the oil and gas industry,” noted Vladimir Yakushev.

“Yamal is not only a Russian, but also a global storehouse. In the next 50-60 years, at least this region will be the main point of growth for our country. The infrastructure here is already quite developed, the region is rich in natural resources. The Polar Urals, the Arctic shelf, many oil and gas fields, their confirmed reserves - this suggests that Yamal will remain the main driver of growth in the Russian economy in the near future,” said the head of the region.

According to him, the development of Yamal will also have a beneficial effect for the Tyumen region. In the region, research institutes, design institutes, oil service companies, and machine-building enterprises focused on oil and gas production in the Khanty-Mansi Autonomous Okrug and Yamal-Nenets Autonomous Okrug traditionally develop and work for the greater Tyumen region.

“For the long term, approximately 50-60 years, Russia does not have another project as powerful as Yamal. Today, its development provides jobs for specialists and orders for enterprises throughout the country,” he noted, comparing the importance for the state of the development of the peninsula with the great era of the formation of the fuel and energy complex of Western Siberia.

The head of the region emphasized the big role of oil and gas companies in the development of the social sphere, healthcare, and education. “These investments pay off handsomely, because we invest in people, we invest in the future, this is our common cause,” summed up Vladimir Yakushev.

Not only liquefied natural gas, but also other cargo should be transported through the port of Sabetta along the Northern Sea Route. This was stated on May 27 by the Plenipotentiary Representative of the President of the Russian Federation in the Ural Federal District, Igor Kholmanskikh, at a press conference in Yekaterinburg.

“For the construction of a plant for the production of liquefied natural gas as part of the Yamal LNG project, the main and auxiliary sites are 90 percent prepared. Installation of foundations for gas turbine units is underway. Tanks for storing liquefied natural gas are in varying degrees of readiness. Only domestic contractors take part in the implementation of the Yamal LNG project; all work is performed by Russian workers and specialists,” emphasized the plenipotentiary representative of the President of the Russian Federation.

About 14 thousand people will be employed during the construction of the plant, and after its completion in 2018, 1 thousand 400 jobs will be created at the enterprise, Igor Kholmanskikh said.

Northern route

Sabetta received more than 1.1 million tons of cargo in 2014, demonstrating almost threefold growth. Thus, the Yamal port under construction now provides almost a third of all traffic along the Northern Sea Route. This year, Sabetta is expected to unload three million tons of cargo ashore, of which two million will be delivered along the Northern Sea Route. These are modular structures of the future liquefied natural gas plant, elements of LNG storage tanks, drilling and other equipment. And already in 2017, the shipment of the first batches of products will begin. From 2020, it is planned to annually poison 16.5 million tons of liquefied gas and 1.2 million tons of condensate from Sabetta.

Right on time

Leonid Mikhelson, head of NOVATEK, assures that the Yamal LNG project will be implemented on time. The first stage of the plant, designed to liquefy 5.5 million tons of natural gas from the South Tambey field, is promised to be launched in 2017. In total, they plan to build three lines. The cost of the project exceeds $27 billion. Currently, however, technical difficulties have arisen regarding the currency in which funds are raised from Chinese banks. However, all problems must be resolved before the end of the first half of the year.

Will China help?

The Yamal LNG project may receive financing from Chinese banks. Up to $13.5 billion can be transferred by the end of 2015. As Bloomberg reports, citing Patrick de la Chevardieu, the financial director of the French oil and gas company Total, Chinese banks have signed a preliminary agreement on lending to Yamal LNG. Chevardier also announced the continuation of negotiations with export credit agencies to obtain additional financing.

At the same time, the management of Yamal LNG was forced to begin negotiations with foreign shipping companies. Sovcomflot, which previously won the tender, was unable to conclude an agreement with Daewoo Shipbuilding & Marine Engineering for the construction of five icebreaker-type gas carriers. Although, according to the terms of the contract, I was obliged to do this last year. Therefore, Yamal LNG itself entered into a corresponding agreement with the Korean shipyard and is now looking for buyers for the ships.

Around the world

Yamal LNG expects to receive up to $13.5 billion from Chinese banks. Previously, the Ministry of Finance of the Russian Federation bought the company's bonds for 74.9 billion rubles. This is only half the amount approved by the government of Dmitry Medvedev. In addition, an agreement was signed with the Belgian Fluxys LNG, which undertakes to build a liquefied gas storage tank with a set of associated equipment in Zeebrugge. In turn, Yamal LNG will receive the right to exclusive use of these facilities. The cost of this agreement exceeds a billion euros, which the Russians undertake to pay to their partner within 20 years from the date of commencement of gas transshipment. The adopted supply scheme along the Northern Sea Route provides that in the summer hydrocarbons will be exported by reinforced ice-class tankers directly to the markets of the Asia-Pacific region, and in the winter they will be transshipped in Zeebrugge onto conventional tankers for subsequent transportation through the Suez Canal.

On the world stage

Evgeny Kot, General Director of Yamal LNG, noted the increasing role of liquefied natural gas in the global energy balance. Due to the shift in demand to new markets, primarily the Asia-Pacific region, traditional pipeline supplies are often simply technically impossible.

The development of LNG projects is the future of Russian gas on the world stage, the speaker is convinced. - Our company is implementing a pilot project in Yamal, designed to produce 16.5 million tons of liquefied gas per year. At the same time, a resource base has been prepared that makes it possible today to create a capacity of up to 70 million tons of LNG in the area of ​​the Sabetta port under construction. Our efforts should be aimed at achieving precisely these global goals. And here coordination between the government and subsoil users is extremely important. The following projects will use the experience we have already gained, tested technologies and equipment, with the maximum possible localization of production in Russia.

Didier Barbandiere, vice president of Technip, assures that international sanctions will in no way affect the success of the Russian-French-Chinese project. The Yamal plant will ship the first batch of gas from Sabetta via the Northern Sea Route in 2017. The French have a lot of experience in this matter. It was Technip, using its own technology, that back in the 1960s built the very first LNG plant on the planet - in Africa.

Sabetta is awesome!

The Arctic Yamal LNG project, which the Russian NOVATEK is implementing jointly with French and Chinese partners, continues to actively develop. If in the past year 27 ships with cargo arrived from abroad at the still-under-development port of Sabetta, then next year it is planned to let 100-150 ships through customs, which will deliver more than three million tons of imported cargo to the construction site. The creation of a full-fledged seaport is planned to be completed by 2016.

And already in 2017, despite all international sanctions, they promise to send the first gas carrier with liquefied natural gas from the South Tambey field for export from Sabetta. Dmitry Kobylkin, Governor of Yamal, is convinced that after the completion of the construction of a multifunctional sea port and a railway to Sabetta on Yamal, many Russian regions will gain access to the world's oceans through the Northern Sea Route. This project will open up new opportunities for further development of Arctic territories.

Working in the Far North is not an easy task. You have to work in difficult climatic conditions: extreme temperatures, constant winds, and mountains of snow. All this is familiar to the residents of the village of Sabetta, who are working on the construction of the Yamal LNG plant. We have shown large-scale construction more than once, but how is the life and leisure time of workers organized?

One of the work shifts has come to an end, and those who worked are rushing to the hostel as quickly as possible. It’s still frosty here, in the evening it’s down to minus twenty outside, and there’s a lot of snow. In this white desert, the orange and blue village looks like a bright spot. And here is the store, also decorated in these colors. It's crowded here in the evening. However, there are always enough visitors.

Although it is crowded here, the range of goods is pleasing to the eye. Products are delivered to the village in large quantities by water, and delivered to the store every other day. Treats and drinking water are what are most in demand among local customers.

“There are not enough sweets here. I've been here for a very long time - about 4 months, and I can say that it tastes delicious. Prices, of course, differ from those on the ground, but in terms of assortment, everything is excellent,” says Denis Kharchenko.

Seller Yulia has been working here on a rotational basis for two years. I came to Sabetta from Omsk. They work with their partners with virtually no rest. But they love their work. They recognize almost everyone by sight and remember the gastronomic preferences of their customers.

“Everyone wants something tasty, imagine - constantly eating in the canteen, you don’t want to. Some people cook it themselves. They buy a lot of chickens, and now we sell vegetables. They take a lot of vegetables - they constantly ask, and we order. The men take multicookers with them and cook,” shares seller Yulia Parakhuda.

Home-work, work-home. Life in a workers' settlement is not very diverse. But for hard workers, they tried to make everything as comfortable as possible. Comfortable dormitories, spacious dining rooms, and for leisure - a large gym. Those who still have energy left after work can go to the gym or kick a ball. Living conditions for people here are decent.

A village of 15 thousand inhabitants in the middle of a snowy desert is another proof that people in our country not only think big, but also do big things. Construction of the century - this is how the Yamal LNG plant can now be called. Well, all these people are just grains of sand in a large-scale project. It is impossible to build the Arctic, but it is possible to create it - with its permission.

Well, dear friends, I rested a little after air travel and various official chores, poured a glass of fresh Shcherbakovsky (this is important!), so sit back and tell me how I suddenly found myself in the Arctic Circle :) After thinking carefully, I decided that the post It will be under lock and key - I didn’t seem to give any subscriptions, but you never know...

It should be noted that I had no intention of flying there (that is, it seemed like there was a conversation that some work needed to be done, but it seemed like it would have been possible without us and lordd will cost while we work on other projects - but it didn’t work out :) Therefore, we were planning urgently and did not really prepare, in particular, I did not pack my favorite thermal mug, in the end I had to scrounge and drink tea from random dishes :)

As is usual with us, the work had to be done yesterday, so they rushed us - my Lena was on a business trip in Magnitogorsk until the end of the week, I finally got to work on the car, but nope - they called and said that you were flying out right through three hours via Ekat.

That is, we were unable to buy tickets for any of the numerous Moscow flights flying from Balandino - we had to take a taxi to our distant suburban airport Koltsovo and from there fly to Domik by plane from S7.

In Moscow, we again had to take a taxi and drive to Vnukovo (on the way the taxi got a broken tire on the Moscow Ring Road), from where in the morning we took a Uteir flight on an exotic Boeing 767-200 to the airport with the almost French name Sabetta. Well, we spent the night in hard chairs in Vnukovo, tasted all the delights of airport food in Mu-mu and Kroshka Potatoes at completely ungodly prices compared to general Moscow prices.

However, everything was compensated by the wonderful view from the window when we flew over Yamal :)

Well, we arrived - we went through a strict inspection (various things cannot be transported into the territory of the South Tambey gas field, including photographic equipment, and, of course, materials containing alcohol - so we left without a bottle of isopropyl alcohol for cleaning optical fibers, we needed it issued on the spot :))

Having passed through the cordons, we came out to the square - and there were shift vehicles, smaller jeeps (we will talk about them separately), as well as pneumatic "Trackols".

We called the host, they told us which car to get into and where to go - we got to the village of Sabetta, and there we got a bed in a dorm. Later we were given cards with which we can pay for food in canteens (not all of them - there are either 4 or 5 of them on the territory), as well as buy all sorts of goodies in the store, like sweets :)

The next day we went through all sorts of instructions (dozens of little “no’s”, the violation of which is followed by various sanctions both to the violator and to the organization that sent him, and the fines for a legal entity are absolutely enormous) - and it works, comrades, at least I in all my time I saw only one person who risked bringing a bottle of cognac here, with which he was tied up at the airport.

Actually, there’s nothing more to write about - for two weeks we went to the airport in the morning and solved various production problems :) Since going to lunch meant wasting precious time, we switched to two meals a day - a hearty breakfast in the morning (porridge, main course, bread with butter and cheese, tea) and dinner upon return from the site (with soup, main course and salad). So, in fact, there is nothing special to write about - although I will separately note a few points, especially since few people know about them.

Accommodation

Almost everyone moves into dorms - new and quite modern. From three to six people live in the rooms (this is an ordinary black bone, a permanent composition - shift workers who, for example, work at the airport, are better arranged :)). There are two toilets on the floor, which are constantly kept clean and tidy; on the ground floor there are showers, as well as a kitchenette with a thermospot, and something like a red corner with a TV. Toilets and floors are washed and cleaned by cleaners, mostly middle-aged ladies of Bashkir appearance:)

By the way, about ten percent of the total number are women.

Smoking is permitted only in designated areas

There is a church in the middle of the village - Kirill himself flew in to consecrate it

Nutrition

Three hundred rubles is enough for a day - the prices are quite reasonable. The portions are large, everything is quite tasty and varied

Here in the store the assortment is quite poor and the prices are inadequate,

You can pay either by card within the limit, or by cash, or by bank card. All feeding, cleaning and garbage removal is carried out by an office from Noyabrsk, all security is from Novy Urengoy

Health and treatment

As a rule, on the second or third day, almost everyone, except perhaps those who are constantly on shifts, falls ill in a mild form - snot, cough, some have a low temperature. That is, you need to come here with a set of antiviral agents, vitamins and packaged herbs for brewing (chamomile, sage, hawthorn). In principle, there are health centers where they give out medicines and exempt us from work - but we, for example, had to finish our work as quickly as possible and return home.

A four-wheel drive medical gazelle drives around the territory; once a medical Mi-8 flew in; apparently, someone was completely unwell.

Motor transport

Everyone is transported by shift workers on the chassis of all-wheel drive KAMAZ and Ural trucks, sometimes I come across a Sadko chassis. Accelerating passenger cars - UAZ-Patriot; mid-level bosses drive a Mitsubishi L200, less often a Toyota HiLux. Other brands and models are found in homeopathic doses. There are a number of all-terrain vehicles on pneumatic rollers from the Trekol company. Trucks - different

Alas for me, I didn’t photograph the fire department - both the village and the airport (the latter are armed with KAMAZ trucks,
two of them are from Vargashin, hear, chaga ?)

Airport

I really liked it - new, beautiful and modern, the buildings are all on legs, and where this is not possible, with a cooling system - that is, under the buildings there are pipes in which ammonia circulates, so that the foundation does not float in the summer (it was hot this year, they say up to plus 30). From 2 to 6 planes arrive a day from Moscow and Novy Urengoy, mostly Yamal airlines (who would have thought!), sometimes UTair and also helicopters, including border ones. We also saw An-12 and An-24. One time an SSJ-100 flew in with a polar bear on its tail. The staff are almost all from Samara, we liked working with them :). Well, in general - it’s cool at the airport: D

People

they work very differently - there are a lot of comrades from Bashkiria, for example:) There is also the Serbian company "Velesstroy" and the Turkish Rega JV - of course, they have a lot of Russians working for them, but there are also natural Serbs and Turks. And so people fly in from everywhere - St. Petersburg, Moscow, Omsk, Volgograd, I also saw a couple of Indians.

I saw the Nentsev once - they were selling venison and fish, and there was also a stall of the Yamal Reindeer company located on the territory of the village. However, the reindeer stew in it is from Kurgan :)

Arctic foxes periodically run through the territory - approaching them (let alone feeding them) is prohibited. Catching too, only Nenets can do that :) And they gave special instructions about polar bears - but God had mercy, I didn’t meet them. Well, screw him.

The Gulf of Ob is nearby - but we didn’t go to it, nor to the port. A gas plant is being built, and our office has a facility there, but we managed to get out of it - people come here for a month, and we were not interested in hanging around here.

Flying away from here is a special task; lists are submitted in advance through the general contractor, paperwork is done for the removal of equipment, instruments and tools, otherwise you can drive away with only personal belongings. However, no one is immune from accidents - for example, ours submitted the wrong passport details lordd , we had to cut off the tubes and change everything on the fly - in the end we made it 10 minutes before the end of registration. We flew back again on the 767-200 to Vnukovo, and from there to Che - on the B-737-800 Pobeda. Well, the bus! Not even a minibus, but a train car - since there were a lot of students flying, it vividly reminded me of my youth and the Che-Zlatoust train.

In general, this is what it is, an exemplary construction project of capitalism! Will I go here again? Who knows, you need money :)... And it’s beautiful here, yes.

I saw the polar lights a couple of times :)

Recently, in Yamal, the world's first icebreaker tanker was loaded with liquefied natural gas. Russian President Vladimir Putin flew to this event. All the interesting facts you need to know about Sabetta and the Yamal LNG plant are in this material.

Where does the “Italian name” Sabetta come from in Yamal?

Sabetta is a rotational camp near the Ob Bay of the Kara Sea on the eastern shore of the Yamal Peninsula. The village got its name from the local family of Samoyeds, Sabe, who lived in the area and were engaged in reindeer herding. The very name of the Yamal Peninsula is also of Samoyed origin and means “end of the earth” - Ya-mal.

This is what Sabetta looks like from a bird's eye view. Truly the end of the earth

It is interesting that initially, the name of the village had one letter T - Sabetha. But during the relaunch of the gas-rich region and giving the planned construction of the seaport international significance, the name was Europeanized by adding a second T. Now the village sounds a little Italian, with an accent - Sabetta. True, now there is a version, disseminated, including by Wikipedia, that the village received its name from the Sabetta-Yakha River, which flows into the Ob Bay at this point. In the Nenets language, sabetta means a woman's headdress.

Sabeta (with another T in the name) began to transform from a Nenets camp into the village in 1980, when geologists from the Tambey oil and gas exploration expedition, previously stationed in Labytnangi, landed here. But by 2002, only 19 residents remained in the village, and the village of Sabeta was abolished in 2006.

How do they even live and work there?

The Yamal Peninsula is a swampy plain. Construction can only be done in winter. And winter in Yamal lasts ten months a year, several of them during the polar night. Frosts of minus 50 degrees are commonplace for shift workers. Squally winds cause more problems. They work there exclusively on shifts. Three weeks each. The dormitories are equipped to the highest standard. Workers unspoiled by expensive resorts compare their rooms to three- and four-star hotels. Alcohol is strictly prohibited throughout the village. They do not give Holy Communion even in the local church. Those caught drunk pay decent fines with five zeros, and their employers - with six.

There is little entertainment in the village, but the Internet works, and there are several active groups on social networks. One of them is “Sabetta Super!” (Yamal LNG)" on the VKontakte network has almost 20 thousand subscribers.

The food is very decent, but to get into the canteens, sometimes you have to firmly defend your right. The contingent is overwhelmingly male, and shift workers sometimes relieve tension like men. Activities also include watching the northern lights and winter swimming. Making friends with the local fauna is strongly discouraged. A polar bear can taste it simply out of curiosity, and arctic foxes that walk around the village in search of handouts can become infected with rabies.

This light phenomenon is common in polar winter and artificial light.

Is it true that outsiders cannot fly to Sabetta?

An international airport was built and put into operation in Sabetta. Red Wings flies from Moscow, and AK Yamal flies to Moscow. There are also flights from Novy Urengoy and Salekhard. Officially, tickets are not sold for all these flights. But you can almost always join the watch by agreeing in advance with the inviting party or with the air carrier.

Baggage inspection at Sabetta airport is carried out for imported alcohol. Any quantity and quality of alcoholic beverages will be confiscated by security services. You can refuse to search your luggage by paying a fine of 50 thousand rubles.

Why does Sabetta need a seaport, and an international one at that?

Construction of the international sea cargo port in Sabetta began in 2012, and already in 2013 it began to accept cargo ships. The seaport was finally ready this year - for the arrival of the world's first and so far only icebreaker-type gas tanker. The liquefied natural gas plant itself is being completed on the territory of the seaport so that liquid gas can be immediately pumped into tankers and sent along the Northern Sea Route. The first icebreaker tanker will sail with LNG directly to China.

The trial commercial voyage of the tanker-icebreaker Christophe de Margerie from Norway to South Korea along the entire Northern Sea Route took 19 days. This is 30% faster than through the Suez Canal. This is the main advantage of the Northern Sea Route (NSR). And the NSR is the shortest between the European part of Russia and the Far East - the distance from St. Petersburg to Vladivostok is just over 14 thousand km.
