Good afternoon, Yekaterina!
You are right, the network of gas stations on CNG in the Republic of Kazakhstan is poorly provided, and there is no in LNG at all. There are only 17 units of CNG filling stations in the territory of the Republic of Kazakhstan, and they are located in the following cities: 1) Aktobe -1 large station (KazTransGas); 2) Atyrau - 1 unit; 3) Aktau - 1 unit; 4) Kyzylorda - 3 units; 5) Shymkent - 1 unit; 6) Almaty - 6 units; 7) Kostanay - 1 unit (KazTransGas); 8) Rudniy city - 1 unit (KazTransGas); 9) Taraz - 1 unit; 10) Uralsk - 1 unit.
Today, the development of the existing network of gas filling stations on CNG is being carried out by "KazTransgazOnimdery" LLP, a branch organization of the national operator in the field of gas supply. And until 2023, they are planning to build additional 100 CNG filling stations, including 6 stations in the city of Nur-Sultan. More information about the implementation you can find on the official website of "KazTransGas" JSC.
Meanwhile, the “Global Gas Group” Companies group has been the only operator of liquefied natural gas in the Republic of Kazakhstan since 2016, implementing the innovative project of pipeless gasification in Northern Kazakhstan, including the promotion of LNG technologies in the gas-engine fuel market. In addition, we ourselves are engaged in LNG transportation and intend to develop our own gas filling station network for LNG in the northern regions of Kazakhstan.
Good afternoon!
We need a commercial proposal for the gas supply facility design. Previously, we have already designed and coordinated a boiler and diesel fuel storage facility, now we need to re-agree on liquefied gas. According to project, boiler modular is stand-alone. Boiler heating capacity is Q=2191995 kcal/h=2549.29 kW (maximum winter mode). Summer mode boiler works to meet the hot water needs of Q=839776 kcal/h=976.66 kW. Two boilers of “Buran Boiler” LLP with nominal heat capacity of 1400 kW have been accepted for installation. We need two 25m3 capacity containers. Our facility, ‘Restaurant and hotel complex’ is located at the Mangilik El street, section 63. At the moment, the building frame is already in place. We need to locate your gas holders on the general plan and also approval of “Astanagenplan” office. Are there any other required state authority approvals?
Good afternoon, Saule!
“GlobalGasGroup” LLP company is engaged in conversion of stand-alone heat sources at (boilers) from liquid fuel to natural gas, using LNG (liquefied natural gas). You in your question probably mean liquefied petroleum gas, LPG. Therefore, we are not talking about gas holders.
Meanwhile, we bring to your attention that we have developed a project of gasification of the cancer center under construction, located just in Your area, at the intersection of Hussein Ben Talal street and Mangilik El avenue. The project provides for construction of an underground gas pipeline from Turan avenue to Mangilik El avenue. At the moment, the drawings are being approved by the authorized bodies, after which the project will pass the state examination and will be further transferred to the City Governor’s office (Akimat) for its further implementation (construction). Commissioning of this gas pipeline is scheduled for the beginning of 2020 heating season. In this regard, in our opinion, You need to request technical specifications for connection to the designed gas pipeline of “GlobalGasNetworks” LLP (+7 7172 577 277), further have them approved by the Energy department and Housing and public services of the Nur-Sultan city and start development of Your complex project.
Our Company is familiar with and is capable of building compact plants for liquefaction of natural gas in order to acquire LNG with 80% and more methane content.
Today, working with oil gases is not part of the competences of Global Gas Group JSC. Unlike natural gas, oil gas besides from methane contains ethane, a large proportion of propanes, butanes and vapors of heavier hydrocarbons.
Definitely, it is possible! With the help of LNG technologies it is really possible to provide energy and heat consumption not only for the TPP, however also, according to the best practice, it is possible to provide for the whole state. For example, Japan, by virtue of some seismic and related to resources special aspects of its territory, provide its population by energy with the help of the imported liquefied methane (Japan has purchased 85 million tons of LNG in 2015).
However, there are some limitations, by which we shall be governed by legislation in force in the course of the project: in the master plan of Astana gasification it is planned to provide the regional TPPs by fuel with the help of main gas pipeline, that’s why, we do not consider them as the subject of gasification based on LNG.
In turn, our project is targeted at creation of the city and regional infrastructure, thereby furthering adoption of a positive decision on construction of main gas pipeline. By the way, the President talked on this very issue on November 8, 2017 during presentation of our project in Kostanai.
Therefore, the prospect of availability of “normal” gas in the capital will contribute to even more intense development of our project and gas consumption system in general.
Hello! We are considering the option of boiler house conversion to gas. We would like to clarify the rates and cost of the enterprise connection. Hopefully it will not be like with the gas oil; the price is constantly rising and we are not willing to pay 230 tenge per liter.
Hello! In response to Your letter, we are informing You of the following:
As of today, the price of 1 m3 of commercial gas sold to the consumers in Astana is 110 tenge.
Given the market conjuncture and conditions for the liquefied natural gas production and delivery on the territory of Kazakhstan, to obtain commercial gas of it, the gas price will be subject to changes. At the same time, based on the pricing policy principles applied by our company, the price of 1 m3 of gas in any case will be 30% below the price of one liter of diesel fuel.
Regarding the question on connection:
Currently, no payment is charged by our company for connection. When connecting, Customer shall pay for the volume of gas to be used during commissioning. Please note that the connection process does not include the works on development of project documentation and construction and installation jobs.
Hello! In accordance with the Astana LNG 2020 project road map approved in 2015, the Global Gas Group company planned to implement the full gasification of Astana with the help of LNG technology by 2021 through the construction of a virtual gas pipeline. After the initiation of the construction of the Saryarka main gas pipline in March 2018, the tubeless method of gasification which is the basis of our project was perceived by the state authorities, certainly wrongfully, as irrelevant and unpromising. Moreover, the public switched to the "waiting mode" of the soonest arrival of the pipeline. I do not want to disappoint anyone, but it will not happen as quickly as you would wish to.
Obviously, in the current situation, it is not advisable to continue building the network of regasification stations around Astana, and today we are actively developing the project of gasless gasification in the territory of Northern Kazakhstan. At the same time, we are increasing the production capacity of the already existing “Turan” complex of liquefied natural gas regasification in Astana to provide gas to large consumers located in the station's operating area.
In view of the fact that the needs of the private sector and the residents of Astana in ecological fuel will be fully covered by the Saryarka main gas pipeline, I can not give you the exact answer, as at the moment the issue of metropolitan gasification is under the jurisdiction of government structures.
However, I can tell you with firm certainty that there is gas in Astana!
