TNK-BP has announced plans to build a second line and the railway terminal on the Zaykinskom gas-processing plants with an investment of USD 200 million.

The commissioning of the facility is scheduled for May 2012. The project is currently under tender to select a contractor for construction works.

The second stage of construction will increase the capacity of the gas-processing plant two times – to 2.2 billion cubic meters per year and will allow for a more advanced processing of natural gas.
