Project Details: Turgai Paleozoic Exploration Project

The Turgai Paleozoic Exploration Project aims to expand the resource base of KMG through targeted geological exploration, focusing on the discovery of raw hydrocarbons. This initiative is conducted under Exploration and Production Contract No. 4958-УВС-МЭ, signed on August 24, 2021.


Project Overview

  • Site Area:
    The project encompasses an extensive area of 5,679.95 km², offering significant potential for hydrocarbon exploration.

  • Prospective Targets:
    Three promising targets have been identified for exploration: PZ-1, PZ-2, and PZ-3. These targets were determined using high-resolution 3D seismic data from the Akshabulak field, along with lower-resolution seismic data, allowing for a comprehensive assessment of the geological features.


Objectives and Expected Outcomes

The primary objective of the Turgai Paleozoic Exploration Project is to uncover new hydrocarbon reserves that can enhance KMG’s production capabilities and overall resource portfolio. By utilizing advanced seismic technologies and thorough geological assessments, the project aims to:

  • Discover Raw Hydrocarbons:
    Identify and evaluate new hydrocarbon deposits, contributing to the company’s growth and sustainability.

  • Enhance Resource Base:
    Expand KMG’s resource base, ensuring long-term energy supply and operational viability.

The project embodies KMG’s commitment to innovative exploration techniques and responsible resource management, setting the stage for future energy developments in the region

Project Details: PZ-1 Exploratory Well

The PZ-1 Exploratory Well is a pivotal component of the Turgai Paleozoic Exploration Project, scheduled for drilling between 2022 and 2024. This ambitious undertaking aims to push the boundaries of hydrocarbon exploration in the region.


Exploratory Well Overview

  • Depth:
    The PZ-1 well is planned to reach a significant depth of 5,500 meters, which is unprecedented for this area. This depth is expected to provide valuable insights into the geological formations and potential hydrocarbon deposits below.

  • Professional Team:
    The project will be executed by a highly skilled and experienced team of KMG geologists, ensuring that the drilling process adheres to the highest standards of safety and efficiency.


Objectives and Significance

The primary objectives of the PZ-1 exploratory well include:

  • Innovative Exploration:
    By drilling to depths not previously explored in this region, the project aims to uncover new geological formations and assess their potential for hydrocarbon production.

  • Data Collection:
    The well will provide critical data that can enhance KMG’s understanding of the geological structure and resource availability in the Turgai Paleozoic area.

  • Contributing to KMG’s Growth:
    Successful exploration and discovery of hydrocarbons at this depth can significantly contribute to KMG’s overall resource base and production capabilities, supporting its long-term sustainability and growth objectives.

The PZ-1 well represents KMG’s commitment to advancing exploration technologies and methodologies, paving the way for future energy developments and resource management in Kazakhstan.
