Technimont attends ground-breaking ceremony of Tengiz Gas separation Complex in Kazakhstan
- The pile ceremony held at the Tengiz Gas Separation Complex has officially started the project works at the presence of local authorities and companies’ representatives
In a two-day event of work and activities, Tecnimont (MAIRE) held a ground-breaking ceremony at the Tengiz Gas Separation Complex (GSC) at the presence of local authorities and companies’ representatives working on the project development.
The Tengiz Gas Separation Complex (GSC) includes full-scope engineering, procurement, construction and commissioning works, with Tecnimont mainly responsible for engineering, procurement and commissioning. The facility is designed to recover at least 98% of ethane from dry gas, and its output will feed the second phase of the Silleno petrochemical complex, focused on polyethylene production—another major project being executed by Tecnimont.
The Tengiz and Silleno projects mark a significant milestone for Kazakhstan, as it involves technologies and scale never implemented in the country and are seen as pioneering efforts that will strengthen the national petrochemical sector.
As a result, KMG PetroChem and Tecnimont, in collaboration with PetroCouncil (the Kazakhstan Oil & Gas Association), have launched a new “Local Value Shared Growth Forum” in Atyrau, Kazakhstan. The event addressed to the local supply chain follows the forum held last September for the Silleno project. This edition saw the participation of 400 potential local suppliers, local authorities and representatives of the organizing entities and the consortium partner.
The program featured targeted workshops, seminars, and networking sessions, equipping participants with essential tools and knowledge to thrive in their respective sectors. These efforts contribute to the broader development of the Atyrau community.
Alessandro Bernini, CEO of MAIRE commented: “This new edition of the “Local Value Shared Growth Forum” highlights the significance of ICV programs for both partners and the industrial sector. The collaboration with PetroCouncil, recently joined by Tecnimont KZ, illustrates the benefits of integrating with the local market and promoting economic development”.
