The Environmental Department of Tolkynneftegas LLC is committed to conducting comprehensive quantitative and qualitative monitoring of emissions and waste in gaseous, liquid, and solid forms. This monitoring is based on scientific principles to assess and forecast the conditions of air, water, and soil environments, ensuring effective environmental protection across the company’s operations.

The core objectives of environmental monitoring at Tolkynneftegas LLC include:

• Preliminary environmental assessments before any operational activities commence, ensuring a clear understanding of the natural conditions.
• Impact evaluation of exploration, drilling, oil and gas production, and associated waste disposal to determine the level of environmental impact.
• Continuous monitoring and analysis of solid, liquid, and gaseous contaminants generated during production, assessing their chemical composition, contamination levels, radioactivity, and hydro-biological properties.
• Laboratory research and compliance assessments using a state-of-the-art environmental research facility, built in accordance with international standards.
• Providing recommendations for mitigation to restore the ecological balance and enhance environmental sustainability.

Atmospheric Protection

Reducing harmful atmospheric emissions is a key priority of Tolkynneftegas LLC’s environmental strategy. The company has implemented a wide range of environmental programs aimed at minimizing its ecological footprint.

To enhance transparency and regulatory compliance, Tolkynneftegas LLC utilizes cutting-edge environmental monitoring methodologies, granting regulatory agencies and local communities access to real-time data on air quality and operational impact.

A comprehensive environmental monitoring system has been deployed at the Almaty Refinery, featuring an automated air quality monitoring (AQM) system that continuously tracks emissions and atmospheric impact. Key features of this system include:

• Eight strategically placed sensor stations within production facilities to collect real-time environmental data.
• Direct data transmission to both the plant control room and regulatory state agencies for immediate oversight.
• Publicly accessible air quality data, displayed on the company’s official platforms and a large LED screen (“Econiformer”) near the refinery, ensuring transparency with local communities.

Through these initiatives, Tolkynneftegas LLC reinforces its commitment to environmental stewardship, regulatory compliance, and sustainable industrial practices.
