Belarusian auction
There were no gas sales at Belneftekhim’s electronic trading in Minsk over the past week. But at this site, 300 tons of wide fraction of light hydrocarbons (NGL) produced by the Novopolotsk refinery were sold at €330/t (fca Novopolotsk) with shipment before December 10th. This batch was purchased by the Ukrainian trading company EPROM-PRO.
Last week, Gaztron-Ukraine purchased 1,000 tons of NGL produced by the Surgut GPP on the stock exchange in Russia with delivery at the end of November for tolling processing at the Seleshchinsky GPP of the Ukrgazvydobuvannya company.
Ukrgazvydobuvannya determines the minimum amount of tolling raw materials that can be processed at the Yablunivsky gas processing plant in the amount of 2 thousand tons / month, and at the Seleshchinsky – 5 thousand tons / month of NGL. In January-September, Ukrgazvydobuvannya plants processed 9,000 tons of tolling NGLs, which made it possible to additionally produce more than 5,500 tons of propane-butane mixture, the company said.
The total output of liquefied gas at the enterprises of Ukrgazvydobuvannya in January-September amounted to 110.8 thousand tons compared to 116.532 thousand tons a year earlier. A slight decrease in gas production is explained by an increase in the use of fractions obtained during the processing of NGLs for the production of motor gasoline.
