Creation of the Company LLP «KAZPETROL GROUP».

06

A contract on oil and gas exploration and production within blocks of the XXIX-38-(C) (partially), D (partially), E (partially) was signed with the Ministry of Energy and Mineral Resources of the Republic of Kazakhstan

07

In 2007, the contract areas of the company were the two sites with a total area of 254 sq.km geological allotment.

Seismic work on contract areas of 2D with a territory of 418.4 linear km was carried out based on agreement between the companies LLP «KAZPETROL GROUP» and JSC "Azimut Energy Services" in 2017. Data processing and interpretation was performed by LLP «PGD Services». Upon completion of these works structural maps of HR-IIar, HR-III HR-III′ and PZ have been constructed and drilling of prospective wells were recommended.

Founded a field camp.

08

As a result of drilling and testing of wells Taur1 (named after the structure based on the nearest trigger point Taur), oil inflow was received from productive horizon M-II-2 aryskum deposit In June of 2008. 

The deposit Taur was founded.

09

In 2009, in order to identify the potential of oil and gas of the “under the investigation” area, LLP “Tat-Arka” held 3D survey in Taur oil field, a total area of ​​173.3 sq.km full fold area of ​​90 sq.km. 

3D field survey data was processed  by CC JSC "Geostan". 3D interpretation of the data was performed by the company LLP "Oil Geoconsulting".
