«Turbogaz» PJSC, before All-Union scientific-manufacturing association (VNPÎ) «Soyuzturbogaz» was established in 1975 by the decision of the Ministry of gas industry of USSR, as a main company in creating and implementation in the field of state-of the-art energy technological equipment. Before 1991 the company was a member of «Gazprom» concern. In the first years of operation VNPÎ scientific and test-design works were devoted to researches, development and implementation of installations of low temperature gas separation with turbine-refrigerator expanders (ÒDÀ) Ò-3, ÒÊÎ-25/64 and development of new structures of turbine expanders of BÒDÀ-5-100 type. Simultaneously were performed the developments of new gas turbine, gas compressor units (GCU) with 6.0 – 12.0 ÌW power aircraft drive.
At that time were manufactured the first test samples of turbine expander units of BÒDÀ-5-100, designed for gas flow of 5.0 mln.m3/24 h and for 10.0 ÌPa pressure.
Units of BÒDÀ-5-100 type were widely used at the fields of Ukraine, Middle Asia and Komi ASSR; big units of BÒDÀ -10-13 type with gas flow of 10.0 mln.m3/24 h at pressure to 13.0 ÌPà were implemented at large Yamburgsk field (Russia), a number of turbine expanders are implemented at gas processing plants.
Obtained knowledge and deep understanding of the essence and peculiarities of technology of gas preparation for transportation in the North conditions allowed development and in 1986 – 1993s supply of 63 units for installations of complex gas processing units (CGPU) of Cenomanian deposits and 14 units for Valanginian deposits of Yamburgsk gas condensate field (GCF), the units till today provide gas preparation for transportation and obtaining of gas condensate.
Implementation of turbine expanders at the fields of Middle Asia was made at sites of All-Union production enterprise «Turkmengazprom» and All-Union production enterprise «Uzbekgazprom». It was provided to create one test-industry line with units in the units of low temperature separation in:
- main buildings No. 1 at Shatlyk field (Turkmenistan);
- main buildings of Kirpichli field (Turkmenistan);
- Kultak field of GPU «Mubarekgaz» (Uzbekistan).
In 1977 by the decision of Mingazprom of USSR was made serial supply of 24-õ turbine expanders of BÒDÀ-5-100 at Shatlyk field, which were introduced into operation in 1980.
In the period of 1980-1981 for the first time in the world practice in the technology of low temperature gas separation was used a turbine expander unit (BÒDÀ-5-100) for work with low-sulphur natural gas. The unit underwent long time industry testing at Kultak field (Uzbekistan). During work the unit for 24 hours provided necessary temperature of natural gas separation. Parameters corresponded to technical conditions for the unit.
At the same years in the company went on work on manufacturing and implementation at compressor stations of gas turbine, gas compressor units and a number of new superchargers of natural gas. In 1977 the Ministry of gas industry of the USSR determined the All-Union Scientific Production Enterprise «Soyuzturbogaz» the main organization on creating of block and block-transportable ship-and-aircraft-engines-based gas turbine power stations for the needs of gas and oil industry, as well as for national economy. A number of block module power stations of BGÒEhS-24UÌ type was created in the period from 1981 till 1984.
In future was developed new Eh-1000 transportable power station with power of 1 ÌW. Eleven such power stations were supplied to the objects of «Severgazprom» production enterprise, «Tumengazprom» production enterprise, «Turkmengazprom» production enterprise. Later were developed block-transportable power stations with power of 2.5 and 6 ÌW. In total were supplied 20 gas turbine power stations with total power of more than 300 ÌW.
At the same period were performed thorough researches aimed to select optimal diagrams of energy saving turbine expanders at gas distribution stations (GDS), gas distribution points (GDP) and compressor stations (ÊS), in which the energy of excess gas pressure is converted into electric energy.
As a result in 1986 for the first time in the USSR was manufactured UÒDU-2500 energy saving turbine expander with power of 2500.0 kW for GDS. Industrial model of the expander is being operated at GDS No. 7 of Dnepropetrovsk since 1991 till present.
In 1994 VNPO «Soyuzturbogaz» all-union scientific production enterprise became «Turbogaz» open joint stock company.
Among new developments of that period should be outlined preventers for drilling and pullout of a hole, with work pressure of 21, 35, 70 and 105 ÌPà.
BGP-70 caterpillar cart-horse with carrying capacity to 70 tons was created for the first time in Ukraine. More than a hundred sets of wellhead equipment, in usual and corrosion resistant performance were implemented at different gas fields of Ukraine and the Russian Federation.
At the end of 2001 the company was headed by the President Î.S Ilyutko and Chairman of the Board, General director Î.V. Kuprygin. Under their leadership was improved organization structure, search, winning and broadening of trade markets of products in Ukraine and CIS countries became the bases for further development of the joint stock company. Attention is paid to patching up the international relations, business cooperation with gas workers of other countries, primarily, of the Russian Federation, Republic of Belorussia, Republic of Kazakhstan, Republic of Uzbekistan, Turkmenistan and Islam republic of Iran.
At present the joint stock company has developed and manufactures turbine refrigerator and low temperature units with productivity from 2.4 tî 10.0 mln. m3/24 h at pressure to 13.0 ÌPà for a wide range of gas compositions, including sour, work at fields with condensate factor to 300 gr/nm3 for operation at different climatic conditions.
Multifield activity of a company, namely creating of different types of equipment for drilling, production, preparation, processing and transportation of gas, let us learn all peculiarities of technological processes, which are applied in the field. Basing on the obtained knowledge and gained experience, we design the effective equipment, solve specific tasks not only as designers of a turbine techniques, but also as developers of the technology of low temperature gas separation. It lets reducing time, necessary for performance of the whole set of work from the start of design till finishing of acceptance testing. Cooperation with design institutes of Ukraine, the Russian Federation, Republic of Uzbekistan, developers of projects on developing of the fields, lets us previously save the initial data on the perspective fields of oil and gas for performance of deep and thorough researches of the existing technologies of production and preparation of gas, learn peculiarities of composition of the produced natural gas and conditions of operation.
With the analyzed initial data, developed programs and procedures of calculation of turbine expanders for different compositions of gas and layer pressures, we create in the shortest terms turbine expanders fully corresponding service conditions with parameters, providing its most effective work.
Presence in our organization of qualified technologists on preparation of natural gas with more than 30-years of experience of work at fields of Ukraine, the Russian Federation, Republics of Azerbaijan, Uzbekistan and Turkmenistan, allows in cooperation with the specialists of gas producing companies operatively retune the modes of operation of the turbine expanders at changing of parameters of work of the with the purpose of optimization of production of hydrocarbon raw material. As well as give qualified recommendations on technology pf gas production and processing.
Today «Turbogaz» public joint stock company is the scientific-manufacturing company, which has long term practical experience in development, manufacturing and implementation of different types of equipment for drilling, production, preparation, processing and transportation of oil and gas. Activity of the stock company includes all stages of manufacturing from researches and developments till supply of ready products «turn key», including building-installation and commissioning works, training of the servicing personnel, guarantee and post guarantee servicing. |
