ASTANA, Kazakhstan, April 29. KazMunayGas
subsidiary Urikhtau Operating LLP and the Kazakhstan-China joint
venture CNPC-AktobeMunaiGas have signed an agreement for the
processing of raw gas produced at the Urikhtau field, Trend reports via
KazMunayGas.
Under the agreement, up to 1 billion cubic meters of raw gas
from the Urikhtau field in Kazakhstan’s Aktobe region will be
transported annually for processing at the Zhanazhol Oil and Gas
Processing Complex.
The project is expected to produce up to 910 million cubic
meters of commercial gas per year, along with around 75,000 tons of
liquefied petroleum gas, approximately 270,000 tons of stable gas
condensate, and up to 32,000 tons of granulated sulfur
annually.
The first deliveries of raw gas for processing are scheduled for
late 2026.
According to the company, the project is expected to support the
social and economic development of the Aktobe region through new
infrastructure creation and higher tax revenues.
KazMunayGas noted that signing the agreement marks an important
milestone toward the full-scale development of the Urikhtau
field.
Meanwhile, the project is being implemented in line with state
directives aimed at maximizing the use of existing processing
capacity and accelerating the development of new gas fields. It
also forms part of a broader hydrocarbons development program,
which envisions the phased commissioning of new assets for
industrial production.
