Abstract
The paper presents a methodology and results of studies on assessment of natural gas demand, its competitive price, gas cost and potential gas demand for different scenarios of gas supply system development in the Baikal region. The options of gas pipeline systems of different capacities from the Kovykta gas-condensate field and the non-pipeline gas supply systems are focused on.
Highlights
The problem of gas supply to the entities of the Baikal region, which includes Irkutsk Region, Republic of Buryatia and Trans-Baikal Territory, has a long history. This problem emerged above 20 years ago and was stipulated by additional exploration and preparation for commercial operation of the Kovykta gas-condensate field (GCF), the license for it belonged to OJSC “RUSIA Petroleum”
The paper classifies the results of studies carried out at Melentiev Energy Systems Institute, SB RAS to assess natural gas demand, its competitive prices, natural gas cost and demand for different development scenarios of gas supply systems
According to the tentative assessments the average gas cost without the tariff of gas transmission by distribution networks is estimated at 8.1–12.2 thousand RUB/1000 m3 for consumers of the Trans-Baikal Territory, 10.8–16.7 thousand RUB/1000 m3 for consumers of the Republic of Buryatia (Table 1), which is more expensive than the laying of the pipeline of mean and small diameters from the Kovykta GCF
Summary
The problem of gas supply to the entities of the Baikal region, which includes Irkutsk Region, Republic of Buryatia and Trans-Baikal Territory, has a long history. This problem emerged above 20 years ago and was stipulated by additional exploration and preparation for commercial operation of the Kovykta gas-condensate field (GCF), the license for it belonged to OJSC “RUSIA Petroleum”. The project could lay the groundwork for natural gas involvement in the fuel balance of the entities of the Baikal region, as far as the planned route passed through the populated and developed areas. The paper classifies the results of studies carried out at Melentiev Energy Systems Institute, SB RAS to assess natural gas demand, its competitive prices, natural gas cost and demand for different development scenarios of gas supply systems
