Why need artificial islands in the Barents Sea. For which the bulk islands are used in Russia. Strategic investment project

In the Kola bay, the Barents Sea will create four artificial islands. The Prime Minister of Russia Dmitry Medvedev signed the appropriate order on June 15. Return new islands entrusted to Kola Verf.

On the islands themselves, the construction center for large-tonnant marine structures will be operated, where complex mineral mining complexes will be created.

"The center is intended for the manufacture of marine complexes for the production, storage and shipment of liquefied natural gas and a stable gas condensate on the bases of gravitational type, sea production complexes, as well as repair and maintenance of marine equipment and equipment used for the development of marine oil and gas condensate deposits," is specified on The site of the Cabinet.

"Kola shipyard" is a subsidiary of NOVATEK, which decided to invest 25 billion rubles to the project. The project will help create about 10 thousand jobs and will attract new investments in the region.

Experience is available

Russia began to create artificial islands a few more centuries ago both to expand its territory and for military purposes. At the beginning of the 18th century in the Sea of \u200b\u200bAzov, the island of Cherepakh, where the citadel was located. Later, the island lost its strategic importance, but still during the low tide it can be seen.

And today in Russia is actively creating artificial land plots. Director of Environmental Programs "Green Patrol" Roman Pukalov noted that there are already similar successful projects in Russia. So, in the Kerch Strait, bulk dams were created during the construction of the Crimean Bridge.

"There were similar projects, the same Tuzlin braid, which comes from Taman towards Kerch is a largely artificial structure. When the Kerch Bridge was built, Spit expanded, slept and modified, "explains the expert.

Bridge over the Kerch Strait will connect Crimea and Krasnodar region. It is planned that he will become the most extended in Russia. His length will be 19 km. Motorists will be able to try out the new bridge in December 2018.

Builders have already completed the assembly of the railway arch.

Projects for Better Life

In 2006, the western part of Vasilyevsky Island began in St. Petersburg. The area of \u200b\u200bthe new territories of the island will be about 476 hectares. The project called "Sea Facade" is one of the world's largest projects in the world for the development of coastal territory.

The extension of the island has not yet been completed, but there is already a specialized seaport, which is popular with foreign tourists.

In the future, residential buildings, schools, hospitals and commercial facilities will also be built on this part of the island.

Solving many problems

As the director of the Energy Development Foundation Sergei Pikin notes, for Russia it is an important step, since at present there are not many similar projects in our country. In addition, according to expert, artificial land plots will help simplify the extraction of natural resources, since they will be located the necessary complexes.

"The construction system of artificial islands is the most advantageous, because it will help solve many problems related to infrastructure," expert believes.

Ecologist Roman Pukalov notes that this construction requires not only a well-thought-out project, but also an independent environmental impact assessment.

"The Kola Bay is a natural environment, you need to look very carefully, as it goes on the bay itself, whether it will prevent the movement of aquatic organisms, for what time work will be carried out to avoid anxiety factor in the spawning period. It is necessary to consider everything very carefully, "says the ecologist.

The Chairman of the Government of Russia Dmitry Medvedev approved the plan of priority activities to create in the Barents Sea of \u200b\u200bthe Center for the construction of large-tonnage marine facilities - artificial islands, on which work on gas production will be carried out, as well as operation and repair of marine equipment.

"The center is intended for the manufacture of marine complexes for the production, storage and shipment of liquefied natural gas (LNG) and stable gas condensate on the bases of gravitational type, sea extraction complexes, as well as repair and maintenance of marine equipment and equipment used to develop marine oil and gas condensate deposits," - Specifies in the Cabinet report.

The document also explains that the construction of artificial land plots in the Kola Bay water area is necessary to accommodate the center objects. Artificial land plots will be created at the expense of their own funds LLC Kola shipyard. The volume of capital investments on the project will amount to more than 25 billion rubles.

"Kola Verf LLC LLC received the permits of the Rosmorrechflut on the creation of artificial land in a water bodice. The signed order of Kola Verf LLC was determined by the person with which Rosmorrechflot will be concluded on the creation of four artificial land plots in the Kola Barents Sea's Kola Bay, "explained in the text.

In addition, the explanatory note states that the construction of the center will allow to create about 10 thousand jobs only on the shipyard itself, increasing tax revenues to the budgets of all levels, attract additional investments to the region, as well as develop new high-tech production.

The administrative address of the object will be the village of Belokamenka of the closed administrative and territorial education Aleksandrovsk of the Murmansk region. In addition, it recommended that federal executive bodies, the authorities of the Murmansk region and local government to help reduce the timing of land plots for the construction of the Center, as well as the deadlines for examinations and issuing permits. Local authorities were also invited to consider providing tax benefits for taxes.

Construction in Belokamenka will be conducted in the framework of the Arctic-LNG project, which involves the production of 16.5 million tons of liquefied natural gas per year. The resource base will serve as the Gydan field. NOVATEKA Denis Khramov's deputy chairman had previously said that in aggregate with Yamal-LNG (the second project of a gas liquefaction liquefaction) "Arctic-LNG" will be able to take about 7% of the global market for liquefied gas.

In July 2015, the Minister of Natural Resources of Russia appealed to the Prime Minister with a letter in which he made an initiative to revise the existing restrictions on the access of non-state companies to the Murmansk gas field in the Barents Sea.

According to Donskoy, after the decree of the President of Russia on the liberalization of access to the shelf filed a sentence for consideration into the government on this topic, but the final decision was not taken. The president, which on a par with Gazprom, issued documents giving the right to exploration and develop deposits, previously expressed a protest against the emergence of other companies on the shelf.

According to the director of Small Letters, the shelf field in Murmansk will be effective only in the form of a project focused on exporting liquefied natural gas. At the moment, the resolution of the export of LNG is, Rosneft and Yamal LNG.

A year earlier it was reported that Gazprom and Rosneft received the rights to two sections of the shelf.

In August 2014, Gazprom received the right to use the Hayovsky section of the depths of 83,590 square meters. km located in the Barents Sea. Forecast oil resources - 393.7 million tons (geological resources) and 118.1 million tons (recoverable resources), in Gaza - 2081.4 billion cubic meters. m, according to condensate - 32.6 million tons (geological resources) and 22.8 million tons (recoverable resources). At the same time, Rosneft was granted the rights to use the PrintyMyrian section of the depths of 20,619 square meters. km in Laptev Sea. PrintiyMirskaya Plot has predicted geological resources of oil 348.6 million tons, recoverable resources - 104.6 million tons, gas - 362.8 billion cubic meters. m.

Chairman of the Government of Russia Dmitry Medvedev ordered build in the Barents Sea four new islands. They will produce equipment for the extraction and storage of natural gas.

Government is noted that in accordance with Article 7 of the Federal Law "On artificial land plots created on water bodies in federal property, and on amending the individual legislative acts of the Russian Federation" to determine that Rosmorrechflot concludes with a limited liability company "Kola shipyard" Treaties on the creation of 4 artificial land plots in the Kola Bay (Middle Knee) of the Barents Sea for the construction and operation of objects "Center for the construction of large-tonnage marine facilities (CSKSK). Complex for the manufacture of the bases of gravitational type and integration of the upper buildings" without conducting Open auction for the right to conclude such contracts.

New plots of land will appear in the Kola Bay by 2020, and the cost of the project is estimated at 25 billion rubles. The government guarantees that not a single penny from the budget to the Barents Sea will not learn - to invest in the project will be the company Kola Verf LLC, the subsidiary of Novateka. No competitive procedures have passed the company - at the disposal of the premiere it is the only contractor.

The artificial islands in the Kola Bay will include the construction center for large-tonnage marine facilities, which will be engaged in the manufacture of marine complexes for the extraction, storage and shipment of liquefied natural gas on the shelf in the Murmansk region, as well as repair and maintenance of marine equipment. The premiere is noted that new objects will create about 10,000 jobs in the Arctic, as well as "increase tax revenues to all level budgets", attract investment in the region and develop new technologies in production. It is known that the construction will be carried out in the framework of the project on the development of the Arctic shelves of the Arctic-LNG gas, and the Gydan deposit will serve as a resource base for the center of the islands. It is planned that every year there will be about 16.5 million tons of liquefied natural gas.

"NOVATEK" reports that the company's subsidiary Arctic SPG-1 LLC won the auction for the right to use the subsoil of the Gydan region In order to geological study, exploration and production of hydrocarbon raw materials. The license is issued for a period of 27 years. According to the results of the auction, one-time payment for the use of subsoils is determined at the level of 2,222 million rubles.

The company already has a significant raw material base on the peninsula, including the morning, geophysical and laderctoy field, as well as three-book, Navuykh, West Solpatinsky, Tanaman and North-Tanaman sectors. The Gyda site is located in close proximity to the morning field, which will serve as a resource base for the Arctic SPG-2 project. Obtaining a license to the Gydan region allows you to significantly increase the NOVATEKA resource base on the Gydan Peninsula and consider new large-scale LNG projects of the company. According to the Russian classification, the total resource potential of the site is 4,740 million barrels of petroleum equivalent of hydrocarbons.

Licenses for the development of Geophysical and Salmanovsky (morning) deposits at the Gydan Seninsula were acquired in September 2011 and valid until 2031.

Salmanovskoe (morning) deposit located in the northern part of the Gydan Peninsula and partially in the water area of \u200b\u200bthe Orsk lip in close proximity to the South Tambae deposit was open in 1980. In the magnitude of recoverable reserves, it is the largest deposit at the given moment on the Gydan Seninsula, and consists of 34 deposits, including 16 gas, 15 gas condensate, 2 oil and gas condensate and 1 oil. Proved reserves of the SEC standards at the end of 2014 amounted to 259.8 billion cubic meters. m gas and 9.6 million tons of liquid hydrocarbons.

The geophysical oil and gas condensate deposit, located in the middle part of the Gydaninsky Peninsula on the coast of the Orsk Lip, was opened in 1975 and consists of 35 deposits, including 19 gas, 12 gas condensate, 3 oil and 1 oil and gas condensate. Proven stocks of the SEC standards at the end of 2014 amounted to 125.6 billion cubic meters. m Gas and 0.4 million tons of liquid hydrocarbons.

In December 2014, Arktik LNG 1 LLC (a subsidiary of the company) won auction for the right to use the subsoil of the three-liter site located on the Gydan Seninsula and bordering the company's geophysical license site. The stocks of the three-liter area according to C1 + C2 categories of the Russian classification is 5.9 billion cubic meters. M of Natural Gas, recoverable resources exceed 1 trillion cubic meter. M gas and 90 million tons of liquid hydrocarbons.

In 2016, NOVATEK continued full-scale geological exploration on sites on the Gidan Peninsula in order to clarify the resource potential of this strategically important for the region. In the period 2014-2016 In the morning field, a total of 5 wells drilled, the results of their tests allowed to increase the reserves of the deposit and confirm the higher well productivity.

Why spend huge money to create artificial embankments in the Kola Bay?

Material comment:
Igor Yushkov
Russian Prime Minister Dmitry Medvedev signed a decree on the creation of four artificial islands in the Kola bay of the Barents Sea. Satisfying them will be LLC Kola Verf (a subsidiary of OJSC NOVATEK). The relevant document is published on the government website. It follows from it that "Kola shipyard" is going to conclude an agreement with Rosmorrechflot. And the islands are hurt not just, but for the implementation of the project called the "Center for the construction of large-tonnant marine structures".

Earlier it was reported that Novatek invests in a project more than 25 billion rubles. The project provides for the creation of a specialized shipyard, capable of producing unique maritime objects - reinforced concrete platforms of a gravitational type for LNG plants, drilling and mining platforms for offshore projects of the Western sector of the Arctic and large-capacity structures to ensure the work of the Northern Sea Route. It is assumed that the construction of the Center will create about 10 thousand jobs, increasing tax revenues to the budget, attract additional investments to the region and contribute to the process of import substitution and technology localization.

Islands plan to create next to the village of Belokamenka of the Murmansk region. They will be built as part of the projects "Arctic-SPG-1" and "Arctic-SPG-2", involving, in particular, the development of the Gydan field in the Obska of the Kara Sea. The construction of shipyards may begin by the end of the year, the first floating LNG plants will be laid in 2018. The construction of the center for the construction of large-tonnant marine structures is scheduled to be completed by 2020.

The first question that occurs when familiarizing with this information is why you will run billions in the construction of new islands? We do not have Japan, where there is not enough land.

Residents of the Murmansk region skeptically comment on the news. This is what the journalist writes a journalist from the city of Polar Igor Opima: "Everyone read? Medvedev ordered four islands in the Barents Sea. The government website clarify: on average knee of the Kola Bay. It seems that Khan will come to the lip of Roslakov and especially the lip of the dirty, there is a finely, the most is - to fall asleep drying and professionalfoot: we created artificial islands.

Indeed, the idea of \u200b\u200bthe construction of the islands is many questions, "says the leading expert of the National Energy Security Fund, a teacher of the Financial University under the Government of the Russian Federation, Igor Yushkov. - Initially, the project was declared otherwise - it was assumed that the work on gas liquefaction would be carried out on the banks of the Kola Bay in the village of Belokamenka. There was planned to build two dry docks, lay grounds for gas liquefaction facilities. These settings were supposed to be delivered to a ripple, combine in a single LNG plant, gas for which will be supplied from deposits in the area. In particular, from the Gydan Peninsula.

NOVATEK has already won several auctions for the development of gas fields, pre-bonding the condition that gas from these deposits must be linked. And since, in addition to this company, no one in Russia is particularly engaged in the construction of LNG plants, Novotek is the only one, in essence, a member of the auction data.

Now, in order to master the resulting resource base, the company abused the construction of what is officially called the "Center for the construction of large-tonnage maritime structures." Although what will build there - it is not clear. First they said - there will be only the lower part of the very floating platform. Then - that there will be some top superstructure. But why for this need artificial islands - it is difficult to understand. Especially since the amount stands out for it is very large.

"SP": - In general, the project "Arctic-LNG" is expensive?

The initial meaning of the construction project of the Center in the Kola Bay was just to realize it in a rather developed area of \u200b\u200bthe Polar region. That is, to develop and upgrade something that has already been built, saving on it. Otherwise it was possible to create everything from scratch closer to the place of gas production - on Yamal.

"Novotek" has repeatedly stated that "Arctic-LNG" will be one of the third cheaper than "Yamal-LNG", which is already implemented. The cheaper was planned to be achieved due to the location of the gas liquefaction factories on gravitational platforms. Apparently, on the example of "Yamal-LNG", they realized that the construction of the plant on land in the conditions of permafrost - the scene. Especially in conditions when the eternal Merzlota melts, and the land under the plant LNG can turn into a swamp.

And a significant part of the equipment has to be delivered by airplanes. Most recently, the next "Ruslan" was landed on Yamal with 70 tons of equipment on board. All this is difficult and expensive.

In addition, in the Yamal-LNG project, a very diverse cooperation: Gaza's liquefaction technology was taken from the Americans, the liquefaction attitudes themselves were collected in China, which then brought to Yamal to the port of Sabetta.

I think that the project for the construction of a floating plant LNG "NOVATEK" is trying to attract investors. However, when the "Yamal-LNG" project was implemented, hydrocarbons were expensive, so investors were easy to find. Now is a different picture. The company is trying to save, making the project purely domesticated. And at the same time creating a center on LNG technologies. That is, on the one hand, they strive to fit into the import substitution program, and on the other, to attract foreign investors. Thus, there is a chance to get from the state of money, which, as it were, will go on the development of the Murmansk transport hub.

I think that Novatek wants to still rehabilitate in the eyes of the Russian government in the sense that Yamal-LNG has been practically fully implemented on imported equipment and with the participation of foreign companies - German, American, Chinese, - Russian there was not so much . While the construction of the port of Sabetta and the dredging work was carried out for the state account. That is, there was a "nationalization of costs" and "privatization" profits from the project. This time they want to show that everything will be different, but no one has not yet intended to clearly explain why the bulk islands are needed. That is, the "economical" project begins with dubious spending.

"SP": - How are sanctions affect the "LNG-Arctic" project? It is known that the United States imposed a ban on the supply of equipment for the extraction of hydrocarbons on the shelf?

Sanctions are still concerned only oil production, although it is often difficult to divide it from gas production. Usually these types of hydrocarbons are adjacent. Europeans, during the administration of Barack, Obama persuaded Americans, so that they did not have the sanctions in Russia. In addition, the fields that the NOVATEK develops are now mainly located in the Orsk Lip and are not considered non-shelf, but simmer. Nevertheless, as far as I have information, all the deliveries have already been completed on this project. The company was in a hurry to purchase equipment forward in case Americans will still cover the sanctions and the gas producing industry in Russia.

"SP": - The state is risks if the projects of the private company "Novotk" will be unprofitable?

State participation in the company is slightly less than 10%. If we talk about the project "Yamal-LNG", the state allocated on its implementation about 300 billion rubles. If we assume that due to a sharp reduction in prices for hydrocarbons, the production of Arctic gas for a long time will be unprofitable and the company will go bankrupt, the return of this amount to the state is rather problematic. In addition, for quite a long time Novatek is exempt from the payment of export duties, from NPPI (mineral mining tax). So far, the state gets very little from the NOVATEKA arctic projects.

So far, information about the project is brought to us extremely small, "says Sergey Orthodov, director of the National Energy Institute. - I think that the details are devoted to the literally units of specialists approached by the NOVATEKA management. It is known that the rate will be made not to stationary LNG on the shore, but on a floating platform. But for which the bulk islands are needed, and even so far from the place of gas produce is completely incomprehensible. For example, Royal Dutch Shell company realizes a similar project with a floating LNG plant in Australia, but no islands to pour out to this.

Russian Prime Minister Dmitry Medvedev signed an order for the creation of four artificial islands in the Kola bay of the Barents Sea. According to experts, it will greatly simplify the development of mineral deposits in this region. However, this is not the first similar project in Russia. RT found out for what other goals a new land is created.
