With Kazneft Petroleum Processing Company Strengthening and expanding the resource base is one of the Company’s strategic objectives. The sound resource base ensures the stability of production activities and achievement of targeted volumes of hydrocarbon production.

The Kazneft Petroleum Processing Complex processes oil condensate from 22 production wells and from Unit 2. Oil and gas are separated through slug-catchers. The oil feed is treated by four stabilisation trains and pumped into the export pipeline to Atyrau for sale on international markets. Completed in 2013, the fourth liquids stabilisation and sweetening train was designed to increase the production of stabilised and sweetened liquids to high value western markets.

The fourth stabilisation train includes an additional condensate stabilisation and sweetening train, the expansion of the existing Kazneft Petroleum Processing Complex (KPC) inlet facilities and some 13 new wells, an additional Sour Gas Export Compressor, additional set of Condensate Booster Pumps and Export Pumps, and two infield pipelines with associated tie-ins to Unit 3 and EOPS.

The gas phase splits into two streams. One feeds the sweetening plant, providing fuel gas supply for the field’s power station and sweet gas supply for the local market. The second stream is directed to Unit 2 for re-injection and/or to Unit 3 for export to Orenburg.

This oil and gas operations resource focuses on world oil production, offshore oil production, oil management initiatives, and gas production. The Company operate exploration, drilling, production and transportation of crude oil and natural gas; refining and storage of crude oil and petroleum products.

Unit 2 is a unique multi-functional facility. It is able to separate, process and re-inject high pressure sour gas and to produce oil, then send for stabilization at KPC prior to export.

One of the highest pressure sour gas injection systems in the world is in place at Unit 2. Three compressors are capable of injecting gas at a pressure up to 550 bar with a high H2S content (up to 9 per cent).

Unit 3 facility separates and partially stabilises gas and oil condensate from 28 incoming wells before exporting via pipeline to a processing facility at Orenburg Processing Plant in Russia.

Petroleum products processed at our facilities include: conventional gasoline and conventional diesel fuels, jet fuel, heavy fuel oil, liquefied petroleum gas, fuel gases, asphalt, propane, propylene, petroleum coke and calcined coke.
