Construction has been completed on the Surgil booster compressor station (BCS), a key infrastructure project in Karakalpakstan, a sovereign republic within Uzbekistan. The announcement was made by Enter Engineering, the project’s general contractor.
The station is designed to increase the pressure of natural gas extracted from the Surgil field before it is sent for processing at the Ustyurt Gas Chemical Complex. This facility produces polymers based on valuable components separated from the incoming gas. The BCS has a design capacity of 1.8 billion cubic meters of gas per year, or approximately 4.8 million cubic meters per day.
As part of the project, two parallel gas compressor units manufactured by the American company Baker Hughes were installed. Construction and installation work has been fully completed, and commissioning of the technological equipment is now underway.
Once operational, the station will significantly boost gas production at the Surgil field and increase the load capacity of the Ustyurt complex by ensuring a stable supply of gas for advanced processing. It will also receive and compress gas from low-pressure and low-output fields managed by the Ustyurt Gas Production Administration, expanding the region’s resource base and enhancing the efficiency of existing wells.
Enter Engineering emphasized the project’s strategic and socio-economic importance. Steady gas production and supply will help ensure reliable energy for both industrial enterprises and residents, including social institutions in remote areas of Karakalpakstan. The new facility will also create jobs during its operational phase and contribute to the region’s sustainable economic development.
