Project Profile
Location: Zelenovsk district, 70 km east of Uralsk city, Western Kazakhstan
Reserves: 7.9 mt (2013)
Start-up Year: 2017
Rozhkovskoye field is located in the Fyodorovskiy Block in western Kazakhstan’s Zelenovsk district, 70 km east of Uralsk city. In 2011, KMG EP acquired a 50% stake in Ural Group Limited (UGL) from Exploration Venture Limited (EVL). According to technical audits carried out in accordance with international standards, KMG EP 2P liquids hydrocarbon reserves of Rozhkovskoye field increased from 5.4 mt in 2012 to 7.9 mt in 2013.
KazMunaiGas made a new discovery in the Bashkirian tier's sediments of the Carboniferous period in the Rozhkovskoye field. Inflow of light dry crude oil and gas with maximum flow rates of 1.9 kboe per day and 6 million cubic feet per day, respectively, was produced while carrying out tests in reservoirs of the Bashkirian period at the U-24 well drilled in 2013 in the north-east wing of the field. Previous exploration at this part of the field targeted hydrocarbons in the Bobrikovskiy and Tournaisian horizons.
The contract for gas and condensate production at the Rozhkovskoye field was signed in April 2015 for a period of 25 years.
