KPO proudly announces the official Start-up of the Karachaganak Expansion Project Phase 1A (KEP-1A). KEP-1A Project is the latest in a series of major projects successfully delivered by KPO to manage increasing gas-oil-ratio and maintain the field’s liquid production plateau. The successful completion of the KEP-1A, which includes the construction of the 5th Gas Injection Compressor, marks the beginning of a new page in the history of Karachaganak and demonstrates KPO's capability to carry out world-class projects of any complexity.

The official start-up ceremony was attended by WKO Akim N. Turegaliyev, Vice Minister of Energy A. Zhamauov, KMG Deputy Chairman R. Balykbayev, PSA General Director B. Izbastin, and representatives of the Karachaganak Partner Companies.

During the visit, the guests were introduced to the operation of the newly commissioned facilities and technological innovations implemented as part of the project.

“KEP-1A is the result of a tremendously challenging and persevering work accomplished by our united team. This achievement has been made possible thanks to the strong partnership with the Government of Kazakhstan and our shareholders. Their continuous support has been crucial in ensuring that KEP-1A was delivered safely and efficiently in order to achieve our shared objectives”, – said Marco Marsili, KPO General Director.

The attendees expressed their appreciation for KPO's performance and wished the team further successes with the development of the Karachaganak field.
