According to KMG, drilling of the first exploratory well has begun at the Taisoigan site in the Atyrau region.
Embamunaigas has begun drilling the first exploratory well at the Taisoigan site in the Atyrau region.
The site is a series of supra-salt Mesozoic structures within the Caspian sedimentary basin. Drilling of 8 structures with a depth of 400 to 3800 m is planned by the end of 2025.
The sites were prepared for drilling based on large-scale 3D seismic exploration in the amount of 5600 sq. km.
All subsoil use operations are carried out by Embamunaigas in accordance with the legislation of Kazakhstan and environmental requirements.
Geological exploration projects of KMV are aimed at finding hydrocarbons and increasing the country's resource base. Their implementation is of particular importance in regions with mature fields, where natural depletion of reserves is observed. Drilling exploratory wells in the Taisoigan area is an important stage in strengthening the energy potential and economic stability of the Atyrau region.
Earlier, the Uaz, Uaz Severny, Kondybai and other fields were discovered near the Taisoigan area.
