Abstract

The Shurtan Gas Chemical Complex (GKM) in Uzbekistan plays a vital role in the country’s petrochemical and energy sectors. A significant secondary product produced at Shurtan GKM is heavy hydrocarbons, primarily C5+ compounds, which are formed during the cracking and refining of natural gas. These hydrocarbons include valuable liquid fuels like gasoline, kerosene, and diesel, along with gaseous by-products like propane and butane. This study investigates the production processes, chemical composition, and industrial applications of these heavy hydrocarbons, as well as their economic and environmental impacts. The findings suggest that while production efficiency is high, optimization of reaction conditions and the integration of sustainable practices could further enhance yield and reduce environmental footprints, positioning Shurtan GKM as a leader in both energy production and sustainable petrochemical manufacturing.
