Tengizchevroil

Tengizchevroil LLP (TCO) has safely started operations at its Wellhead Pressure Management Project (WPMP) at the Tengiz oil field, with the conversion of the first metering station to low pressure, and by bringing online the associated Pressure Boost Facility (PBF).

This is a key milestone in the company’s overall expansion project at Tengiz. The WPMP is designed to keep existing Tengiz processing plants at full capacity (of approximately 28 million tonnes per annum), by lowering the flowing pressure at the wellheads and then boosting the pressure to the existing plants. The additional PBF compressors will start up and the remaining metering stations will be converted through the remainder of the year.

The final stage of TCO’s expansion project, known as the Future Growth Project (FGP), is scheduled for completion in the first half of 2025. This will enable TCO to expand Tengiz crude oil production by an incremental 12 million tons per annum (260,000 barrels a day).
