MOSCOW, Dec 28 (Reuters) - Gazprom’s Orenburg processing plant, which handles 8 billion cubic metres of gas per year from Kazakhstan’s giant Karachaganak field, may have to shut down for lack of a key feedstock, industry sources said on Wednesday.
The sources said the Karachaganak consortium, in which the Kazakh government recently increased its stake, made a 90 percent reduction in deliveries of unstable gas condensate to the plant, which requires a byproduct from condensate stabilisation to process gas.
