Partner of SBS Consulting Sergey Artemyev commented on the utilization of associated petroleum gas (APG) for Kommersant. In his comments, Sergey explains that APG is a "valuable raw material" and is processed directly on the platform in modular-block separation plants, receiving dry gas and condensate.
Dry gas can be burned on the platform itself and this allows to get electricity, it can be liquefied and shipped by gas carriers if the platform is far from the shore. Or it can be laid an underwater gas pipeline ashore to the consumer. Condensate is also shipped by tankers as raw materials for gas chemistry, all initiatives are quite capital intensive.
