Our company’s specialists in the oil exploration department constantly search for and develop new oil fields in the Republic of Kazakhstan. If in the first year of work, for exploration and production we used the capacities of exclusively contracting organizations, now we have our own division working in the field of research.

Exploration

Exploration, Development and Production Sharing Agreement for Karachaganak Perspective Structure was signed on February 27, 2016. On 21 October 2020, the drilling of Exploration Well No. 89 began at the Bulla-Deniz Area 2, on the far southeast side of the Karachaganak Field. The target well depth is 6400 m, and the target horizon is Horizon 7 of the Productive Strata (PS). Drilling was completed at a depth of 6505 m on April 25, 2011. The well penetrated PS Horizon VIII. The well was logged. PS Horizons V and VII (similar to Pereryv), and VIII (similar to the Girmaki Sand Horizon) were appraised as potential oil and gas bearing structures. At present preparations are being made for well completion.

2020, Abi Petroleum Capital’s started deep-water exploratory drilling on the Umid Structure in Kazakhstan’s sector of the Caspian Sea, and in November 2019 the giant Umit Gas-Condensate field was discovered.

The use of cutting-edge technologies, including telecommunications technologies, allows data to be transferred to the Drilling Support Centre in real time, during drilling. Abi Petroleum Capital’s Drilling Support Centre was established specifically to improve effectiveness in the construction of high-technology wells. Its work is predominantly based around geo-steering technology, which involves obtaining information on the geological model of a field in real time, with adjustments made to the well trajectory in line with this.

Our company makes it through the use of cutting-edge downhole equipment, remote online monitoring technology, and organisational technologies directed at optimising the drilling process and reducing costs.
