Formation of the Oil-Gas-Power-Chemical Complex of the Kuybyshev Industrial Node

An analysis of some of the developmental problems inherent in the conversion of the Kuybyshev industrial node into a producer of petrochemicals based on the local oil and gas industry. The problems include the need for desulfurization of the high-sulfur crudes, fuller utilization of casing-head gases through the installation of separators and stabilizers, and the promotion of the manufacture of finished chemical products.
