CEO of RG GAZ LLP, Askhat Khassenov, met with the CEO of the Canadian company General Magnetic Canada Inc. (GMCI), Alfred Duerr, on September 25 in Almaty. They discussed prospects for cooperation in methane emissions reduction and the Global Methane Commitment.

RG GAZ LLP is the first Kazakh national company to join the OGMP 2.0 Partnership in support of this initiative. Over the next three years, the company plans to conduct a detailed inventory of methane leaks at its production facilities and establish a baseline level of emissions. This will enable effective monitoring and reduction of emissions throughout the production cycle.

To achieve these goals, Leak Detection and Repair (LDAR) activities are planned for RG GAZ subsidiaries, which will significantly reduce fugitive methane emissions. The company is already collaborating with partners such as Carbon Limits and Tetra Tech to implement these measures.

The world’s most advanced technologies could be utilized through cooperation with GMCI to monitor and reduce methane emissions.

Both parties expressed confidence that joint efforts can lead to a significant reduction in methane emissions and contribute to the sustainable development of Kazakhstan’s energy sector.

General Magnetic Canada Inc. (GMCI) is a leading Canadian company founded in 2008 in Calgary. It specializes in developing advanced technologies for the energy industry to improve efficiency, reduce methane emissions, and lower operating costs.
