EXPLORATION AND PRODUCTION
Upstream Operations
Our upstream operations are integral to the discovery, development, and production of hydrocarbon resources, positioning North Caspian Petroleum as a prominent player in Kazakhstan and Russia. We are actively engaged in a number of high-potential oil fields, including the Kashagan Oil Field, one of the largest and most significant offshore oil reserves in the Caspian Sea region, as well as fields in the Tengiz and Karachaganak areas, which have been key contributors to the region's oil and gas output.
By leveraging cutting-edge exploration technologies and applying best practices in reservoir management, we ensure that we extract oil and gas in an efficient, safe, and environmentally responsible manner. Our upstream team is focused on optimizing production rates, enhancing recovery methods, and unlocking new reserves through advanced techniques such as enhanced oil recovery (EOR) and seismic imaging.
Mainstream Operations
Our mainstream operations involve refining crude oil, producing petrochemicals, and supplying high-quality fuels and products to domestic and international markets. We operate state-of-the-art refineries, primarily in Kazakhstan and Russia, where we refine crude into a wide range of finished products, including gasoline, diesel, jet fuel, kerosene, lubricants, and other petrochemical derivatives.
Our refineries are equipped with advanced technology that ensures the highest standards of product quality, while minimizing environmental impact. Some of the key products we produce include:
-
Gasoline – High-octane fuel for transportation and industrial use.
-
Diesel – Low-sulfur, high-performance diesel for commercial and transportation sectors.
-
Jet Fuel – Premium quality jet fuel for aviation.
-
Petrochemicals – Essential raw materials used in the production of plastics, fertilizers, and other industrial goods.
In addition to refining, our mainstream operations also include the blending and distribution of these refined products to regional markets, helping to meet the growing demand for energy and petrochemical products in Kazakhstan, Russia, and beyond.
Midstream Operations
Our midstream operations provide the crucial infrastructure for transporting and storing crude oil, refined products, and natural gas across vast distances. We operate an extensive network of pipelines, storage facilities, and terminals in Kazakhstan and Russia, ensuring the safe and efficient movement of energy resources from production sites to markets.
Our midstream capabilities include:
-
Pipeline Networks – Connecting key oil fields with refineries, ports, and export terminals, ensuring reliable and continuous delivery of crude oil and refined products.
-
Storage Facilities – Strategically located facilities for storing crude oil, refined products, and natural gas, enabling us to meet demand fluctuations and maintain operational flexibility.
-
Export Terminals – Critical infrastructure for the export of oil and gas products to international markets, including key ports in the Caspian Sea and beyond.
We are continuously investing in the expansion and modernisation of our midstream infrastructure to ensure we meet the growing energy needs of our customers, while also ensuring the highest standards of safety, efficiency, and sustainability.
