Oil production remains a strategic priority for Tolkynneftegas LLC, which accounts for a significant portion of the country’s crude oil output. The company aims to sustain annual hydrocarbon production at 50 million tons of oil equivalent (Mtoe) through 2025, leveraging advanced technologies and operational efficiencies to maximize extraction rates and optimize resource utilization.

To achieve this, Tolkynneftegas LLC is:

• Optimizing extraction techniques to maximize output from existing reserves
• Reducing costs associated with proven technologies
• Introducing and scaling new technologies to improve production efficiency
• Developing unconventional reserves and establishing new production hubs, particularly in northern Almaty
• Challenging Terrain & Technological Adaptation

In the early years of field development, production was seasonal, with crude oil transported via river barges during warmer months and operations suspended in winter. The harsh climate and complex geological conditions required the company to develop innovative solutions for:

• Drilling operations in extreme environments
• Road and infrastructure construction in difficult terrain
• Pipeline and facility development in remote areas

To address these challenges, Tolkynneftegas LLC implemented an extensive Production Modernization Program, focusing on:

• Upgrading production units to improve output quality
• Reconstructing and modernizing oil facilities to boost efficiency
• Enhancing product competitiveness in domestic and global markets

This program represents one of the most ambitious modernization efforts within Kazakhstan’s oil industry, reinforcing the company’s leadership in technological innovation and operational excellence.

Hydrocarbon Development & International Operations: Beyond Kazakhstan, Tolkynneftegas LLC actively engages in international oil and gas exploration, production, and acquisitions, with operations spanning CIS countries and Europe. The company is focused on:

• Expanding geological surveying projects to identify new reserves
• Implementing advanced recovery techniques to maximize well output
• Acquiring strategic oil and gas assets in key global markets
• Production Enhancement & Well Optimization

In 2014, the company implemented over 10,000 geological and technical interventions, resulting in:

• 10.2 million tons of restored production
• A 9.8% increase in specific production per well (from 1,055 to 1,158 tons per well)
• A 1.5x increase in the use of enhanced oil recovery (EOR) techniques compared to 2017

Key recovery methods include:

• Bottomhole formation zone (BHZ) treatments
• Well performance optimization (BHO)
• Physical and chemical EOR applications to enhance extraction rates

With these advancements, Tolkynneftegas LLC is well-positioned to sustain long-term production growth, extend the lifespan of its oil fields, and drive continued innovation in hydrocarbon recovery.
