Limits RegistryPUBLIC RECORD
Limits RegistryLocated on the Ob River near the city of Surgut, the plant burns a mix of associated petroleum gas (a byproduct of regional oil production, roughly 70% of its fuel) and natural gas (roughly 30%), consuming approximately 10 billion cubic meters of gas annually. Its scale reflects the concentration of Siberian oil and gas extraction infrastructure in the surrounding Khanty-Mansi region.

The Surgutskaya GRES-2 (Surgut-2) power station in western Siberia, Russia, has a certified installed capacity of 5,657.1 MW, the highest of any natural-gas-fired power station in the world, per Guinness World Records.
Change a parameter to stress-test whether a proposed result is still inside the published specification. This is an audit aid, not a proof checker.
This record has no editable parameters. Read the formal question and assumptions before challenging it.
Current frontiers derived from accepted Claims.
An observed or demonstrated result; no opposing bound is implied.
The frontier is not sacred
Most progress starts with a disagreement that survives contact with evidence. If you can push the known lower bound up or pull the upper bound down, show us the work.
≥ when you have shown that at least this value is achievable.≤ when you have shown that anything above this value is impossible.No vibes. State the value, define the scope, and link the paper, proof, code, or reproduction that lets another person check it. Editors review every challenge before the public record changes.
