In 2024, JSC "Embamunaigas" (EMG) extracted 2.79 million tons of oil, exceeding the plan by 17 thousand tons. This information was revealed during a meeting attended by the Chairman of the Board of "KazMunayGas." Askat Khasenov visited the company during a working trip to the Atyrau region, as reported by a correspondent from the business information center Kapital.kz, citing the company's press service.
EMG's General Director Rinat Izmukhanbet announced that work has begun on expanding the infrastructure for developing gas deposits at the Western Prorva field. The project will be implemented in three phases. In June 2025, the launch of the first start-up complex is planned, which will increase oil production to 45 thousand tons per year and gas production to 160 million cubic meters. The second and third phases are scheduled for 2026-2027. The second start-up complex will ensure the achievement of a gas preparation capacity of 350 million cubic meters, while the third phase will reach the design capacity of 600 million cubic meters.
This year, the project "Reconstruction and modernization of the oil preparation and pumping workshop of Prorva" will begin. It aims to gradually replace outdated equipment and modernize the technological scheme, which will enhance reliability and increase productivity to 3 million tons of oil per year. The modernization is being carried out in connection with the planned increase in production from new fields.
"The task has been set to ensure the start of oil production at the Western Karasor field by the end of the year. This will allow for an additional extraction of 60-65 thousand tons of oil at peak development. Another investment project is the construction of a gas preparation unit (GPU), which is planned to be implemented at the Southeast Novobogat field. The introduction of the field into development will enable peak production of 100 thousand tons of oil per year," the statement indicates.
EMG has also been tasked with bringing mature fields to a profitable level.
"We need to continue working on improving operational efficiency, paying special attention to increasing oil recovery," concluded Askat Khasenov.
