Gas condensate processing plant
Gas condensate processing plant. Gas condensate is a low-density mix of hydrocarbons found in natural gas deposits. The hydrocarbons may be extracted from the gas as they are essentially light fractions of oil. Other impurities also need to be removed such as hydrogen sulphide, mercaptans, cyclic compounds and carbon dioxide. The plant here is at Novy Urengoi in Russia and has been decommissioned

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the eerie beauty of an abandoned gas condensate processing plant in Novy Urengoi, Russia. The plant, once a bustling hub of activity, now stands as a silent testament to the ever-changing landscape of the oil industry. Gas condensate, a low-density mixture of hydrocarbons found in natural gas deposits, was processed at this facility. The hydrocarbons were extracted from the gas as they represented light fractions of oil. However, before these valuable resources could be utilized, various impurities including hydrogen sulphide and carbon dioxide had to be removed. The image showcases rows upon rows of pipes stretching across a snowy landscape. The cold winter air adds an element of desolation to the scene while also serving as a reminder that this industry thrived even in harsh conditions. Although no longer operational and decommissioned, this plant played a significant role in refining and purifying fossil fuels for extraction. It symbolizes both progress and abandonment - reminding us that industries evolve over time and leave behind traces of their existence. This thought-provoking photograph is not just about an abandoned structure; it represents our constant quest for energy sources and how they shape our world.
