Text “The Enterprise “Gasprom production Orenburg””.

Nature has given the Orenburg region various natural resources. Its depths contain copper, nickel, iron ore, asbestos, oil and gas. In the beginning of the oil and gas prospecting in Orenburg there was the pioneer of the Soviet oil geology, the academician I. M. Gubkin. In mid 30s he initiated geological exploration of the Volgo-Ural territory, within the site of the Orenburg region.

To develop and operate the Orenburg gas condensate field, in the March of 1968 the USSR ministry of gas industry produced a decree to establish the Department in order to develop and operate the gas field and construct the gas pipeline. It was the moment of creation of "Orenburggasprom", based on the unique gas condensate field that remains the largest one, not only in our country but abroad, too.

The Enterprise “Orenburggasprom” was established in 1968. The production of gas on an industrial scale was begun in 1974. "Gasprom production Orenburg" is a highly developed multiprofile enterprise which forms a part of Russian Joint Stock Company “Gasprom”.

In 1984 the Enterprise began an oil production from oil pools situated near the Orenburg field and a processing of gas and unstable condensate from the Karachaganak gas condensate field in Republic of Kazakhstan.

The Orenburg gas chemical complex was created on resources base of the Orenburg gas condensate field. It is the biggest in Europe in processing hydrogen sulfide.

Gas from the Orenburg gas condensate field is characterized by the presence of condensate, hydrogen sulphide and helium. By its composition it is a valuable raw material for processing.

The Enterprise "Gasprom production Orenburg" represents: production, transportation and processing of residue and liquefied gas, ethane, solid and liquid sulphur, helium, stable gas condensate; maintenance of gas-engine vehicles, industrial and civil construction, agricultural works, scientific researches and design, consumer goods production and external economic activity.

The Enterprise "Gasprom production Orenburg" is always open for mutually beneficial cooperation in a sphere of development of oil and gas resources, introduction of the latest technology and creation of new production branches.

The Enterprise works in close contact with oil and gas producing and processing companies. "Gasprom production Orenburg" is a stable economic leader among the most important enterprises of Russia.
