Kazakhstan, the largest country in Central Asia, holds significant oil reserves, ranking among the top 15 in the world. Its vast oil and gas sector is a key driver of the national economy, with major fields like Tengiz, Kashagan, and Karachaganak containing a substantial portion of the country’s proven and probable reserves. This makes Kazakhstan a major player in the global energy market and an attractive destination for foreign investment in the energy sector, as highlighted in this investment opportunity.
The annual oil production over the last five years has stabilized at approximately 7,300 thousand barrels (mbbl). For 2024, the oil production was 7,452 mbbl. The EBITDA margin is expected to be between 26% and 31% under normal market conditions.
The field has remaining proven reserves (2P) of 214 million barrels (mmbbl). The original oil in place (STOIIP) is 2,024 mmbbl. The low recovery factor of 10.7% suggests significant potential for future production growth.
The field is equipped with a fully operational Central Processing Facility (CPF) that can process 5,500-5,600 tons of oil per day. The infrastructure also includes two pre-dehydration units, 15 oil transfer stations, six water injection pump stations, and 117 metering stations. The CPF is connected to the Kalamkas-Karazhanbas-Atyrau-Samara oil pipeline, which is part of the KazTransOil (KTO) pipeline system, providing direct access to domestic refineries and export markets in Europe and the Mediterranean.
The seller has implemented enhanced oil recovery techniques since 2003 to optimize heavy oil production. Water flooding has delivered a significant increase in oil production, exceeding expectations. Over the past five years, production has surpassed the original plan, which helps de-risk future output.
