在阿斯塔纳，哈萨克斯坦国家石油公司（KMG）董事会主席阿斯哈特·哈塞诺夫会见了中国海洋石油国际有限公司（CNOOC）董事会主席王东京。

在谈判中，双方讨论了双边合作问题，并批准了地质勘探领域的未来计划。

此外，在会议上，双方签署了一份文件，确定了新“Zhylyoi”地下利用项目的主要合作条件。特别是，两家公司同意在地下部分进行以下工作：

- 2D（400 纵向公里处理和分析）和 3D（现场工作，400 平方公里处理和分析）地震勘探；
- 钻探一口深度为 2000 米的盐水勘探井（独立阶段）；
- 根据 3D 地震勘探数据的结果，钻探一口深度为 4500 米的盐下勘探井（相关阶段）。

根据KMG的初步评估，该地下区域的地质资源潜力可能超过1.85亿吨石油。

主要合作条款的签署证实了中海油对联合实施该项目的兴趣。这一举措将为公司在碳氢化合物勘探方面开辟新的机会。KMG

负责人强调了该项目对哈萨克斯坦的重要性。

“我们相信，与世界领先的能源公司之一建立的这种伙伴关系将为哈萨克斯坦石油和天然气行业的发展注入新的动力。与此同时，吸引到我国的外国投资数量将增加。因为勘探期由中海油资助，”A.哈塞诺夫指出。

提醒一下，2024年8月，KMG和中海油在北京签署了地质勘探领域合作协议。因此，两家公司表现出了在这方面合作的兴趣。

In Astana, Chairman of the Board of KazMunayGas JSC (KMG) Askhat Khasenov met with Chairman of the Board of Directors of China National Offshore Oil Corporation International Limited (CNOOC) Wang Dongjing.

During the negotiations, the parties discussed issues of bilateral cooperation and approved future plans in the field of geological exploration.

Also, at the meeting, a document defining the main conditions of cooperation on the new "Zhylyoi" subsoil use project was signed. In particular, the two companies agreed to perform the following works in the underground section:

- 2D (400 longitudinal km processing and analysis) and 3D (field work, 400 square km processing and analysis) seismic exploration;
- Drilling of one saline exploratory well at a depth of 2000 m (independent phase);
- Drilling one sub-salt exploratory well (dependent phase) with a depth of 4500 m according to the results of 3D seismic exploration data.

According to the preliminary assessment of KMG, the geological resource potential of the subsoil area may amount to more than 185 million tons of oil.

The signing of the main cooperation terms confirms CNOOC's interest in joint implementation of the project. This step will open new opportunities for companies in the direction of hydrocarbon exploration.

The head of KMG emphasized the significance of the project for Kazakhstan.

"We are confident that this partnership established with one of the world's leading energy companies will give a new impetus to the development of the oil and gas sector of Kazakhstan. At the same time, the amount of foreign investments attracted to our country will increase. Because the exploration period is financed by CNOOC," A. Khasenov noted.

To remind, in August 2024 in Beijing, KMG and CNOOC signed an agreement on cooperation in the field of geological exploration. Thus, the companies showed interest in cooperation in this direction.
