據俄羅斯油氣網3月9日消息稱，據Kazinform記者報道，哈薩克斯坦能源部長Nurlan Nogayev在能源部董事會會議上談到了正在進行的卡沙干油田的工作。這位部長補充說，卡沙干大規模開發的概念正在準備中。

該項目預計將增加8億立方米的商業天然氣產量，創造新的就業機會，并將石油產量從800萬噸提高到1000萬噸。能源部長補充說，卡沙干的大規模開發概念正在準備中。這位部長說，今年計劃開始在卡沙干油田建設一座產能為1.15萬億立方米的天然氣工廠，估計造價為8.6億美元。

該天然氣處理廠將于2021年底投產，將滿足國內外市場的需求。據部長稱，所有試點和工業開發階段的設施都已投入運營，日產能為40萬桶。然而，由于該部于2020年5月實行的限制，平均日產量為28萬桶。

該設施預計將有助于從伴生天然氣中的劇毒和腐蝕性硫化氫中提煉原料，從而增加原油產量。

哈薩克斯坦是世界第九大原油出口國，占世界石油總儲量的3%。哈薩克斯坦超過90%的石油集中在其15個最大的油田，包括卡沙干、天吉茲和甘納克。

Kazakhstan to build new gas plant at Kashagan this year

Kazakhstan′s Energy Minister Nurlan Nogayev spoke of the works ongoing at the Kashagan oilfield at a meeting of the Energy Ministry’s Board, Kazinform correspondent reported. The concept of Kashagan’s large-scale development is under preparation, the minister added.

The project is expected to result in production of additional 800 million m3 of commercial gas and creation of new jobs as well as a rise in oil production from 8 to 10 million tons. The concept of Kashagan’s large-scale development is under preparation, the Energy minister added. This year it is planned to begin construction of a gas plant with a capacity of 1,150 billion m3 of raw gas and estimated at $860 million at the Kashagan oilfield, the minister said.

The gas processing plant, set to come online in late 2021, will meet the demand of both domestic and foreign markets. According to the minister, all the facilities of pilot and industrial development stages are operational, with the production capacity of 400 000 barrels a day. However, the average daily production stands at 280 000 barrels due to the restrictions introduced in May 2020 by the Ministry.

The facility is expected to help refine raw materials from highly toxic and aggressive hydrogen sulfide present in associated natural gas and as a result, increase crude oil production.

Kazakhstan is the world’s 9th-largest crude oil exporter, accounting for 3% of the world’s total oil reserves. More than 90 % of Kazakhstan’s oil is concentrated in its 15 largest fields, which include Kashagan, Tengiz, and Karachaganak.?
