This week, I will introduce KPO. It is a
promising prospect for a Gas treatment companies. However, you have to be
patient and persistent as Gas industry in Kazakhstan is highly geopolitical.
Operator: KPO (BG and ENI)
Shareholders: BG (29.25) ; ENI (29.25) ;
Chevron (18) ; Lukoil (13.5) ; KMG (10)
Production: Oil 200 000 bpd – Gaz 650 Mcfpd
KPO. The deposit area is 280 km2, and its
reserves are estimated at more than 1.2 billion tons of oil and condensate and
over 1.35 trillion m3 of gas.
1. A Karachaganak future development
group: EPC/EPCM: Fluor, WorleyParsons, and KGNT are interested.
A vendor assessment process. The process is
aiming to assess and to qualify contractors and services providers. You have to
be registered to be invited.
Scope of the project. Gas condensation
facilities. Gas treatment. Increase of
production and additional injection and related facilities. If the GOK is
willing to use the gas for domestic uses, some related facilities treatments
are needed, as well.
FEED is expected for the 4th Qr of
2013.
In 2014, Kazakhstan plans to invest $ 3.7
billion to build a power plant for the processing of natural gas from the
Karachaganak field to supply gas to the domestic market
In 2017, the plant will supply gas to Astana
and northern regions of Kazakhstan (according to KMG)
It is also expected, that there will be an
increase in supply in 2019-2021 to 5 billion cubic meters.
The Ministry of Oil and Gas of Kazakhstan
intends to negotiate with Russia on a JV based on the
Orenburg gas processing plant, which imports gas from Karachaganak.
2. Ongoing Projects. Ongoing project, mainly
Brownfield and medium size projects.
The plateau Extension project. KPC gas bottle
necking. Scope: improve gas treatment capability power facilities and gas
improvement system.
Gas injection upgrade. The technical solution
related to this phase is not established yet.
The issue is how to use the existing facilities to inject more gaz.
Let me know your questions ... and if you may need support, contacts details and how to navigate through the management structure.
And Good Luck !
