ASTANA, Kazakhstan, April 16. The Chairman of the Board of JSC "NC "QazaqGaz" Sanzhar Zharkeshov met with the shareholders of JSC "Oil Company "KOR" to discuss key aspects of the implementation of projects at the Shalkar and Akkuduk sites as part of the instructions of the president of Kazakhstan to accelerate geological exploration, Trend reports.
In addition, the meeting agenda included the issue of ensuring
the necessary infrastructure at the Akkuduk site.
"Akkuduk is a well-studied geological block with confirmed
deposits. It is known that gas is present there, and the
development of the Kansy site has been considered an important task
for the industry for many years. Now we are moving to its practical
implementation," said Sanzhar Zharkeshov.
According to the CEO of Shalkar Energy LLP, Marat Nurpeisov,
geological and other preparatory stages have been completed at the
Shalkar site. The locations for exploratory wells have been
determined based on the reprocessing of seismic data from 2016,
analysis of similar fields, and basin modeling.
"The drilling of the first exploratory well is scheduled for June
2025. This event will be a significant milestone for the industry.
The development of the Shalkar block is being implemented with a
new formula that includes a motivational system for subsoil users,"
noted QazaqGaz.
The project also serves as an example of strategic partnership
between the national company and a private investor in the gas
exploration segment.
"We are ready to accelerate geological exploration in the interests
of expanding Kazakhstan's resource base. Our company assumes all
associated risks and engages all professional potential and
accumulated technical competencies for the successful
implementation of these projects. Our goal is to make a significant
contribution to the future of the country's gas industry," said
Talgat Akhsambiev, shareholder of JSC "NC "KOR".
As a result of the meeting, QazaqGaz and KOR identified further key aspects of their partnership for the implementation of priority projects aimed at the sustainable development of Kazakhstan's gas industry.
