???? 据俄罗斯油气网3月9日消息称，据Kazinform记者报道，哈萨克斯坦能源部长Nurlan Nogayev在能源部董事会会议上谈到了正在进行的卡沙干油田的工作。这位部长补充说，卡沙干大规模开发的概念正在准备中。

????该项目预计将增加8亿立方米的商业天然气产量，创造新的就业机会，并将石油产量从800万吨提高到1000万吨。能源部长补充说，卡沙干的大规模开发概念正在准备中。这位部长说，今年计划开始在卡沙干油田建设一座产能为1.15万亿立方米的天然气工厂，估计造价为8.6亿美元。

????该天然气处理厂将于2021年底投产，将满足国内外市场的需求。据部长称，所有试点和工业开发阶段的设施都已投入运营，日产能为40万桶。然而，由于该部于2020年5月实行的限制，平均日产量为28万桶。

????该设施预计将有助于从伴生天然气中的剧毒和腐蚀性硫化氢中提炼原料，从而增加原油产量。

????哈萨克斯坦是世界第九大原油出口国，占世界石油总储量的3%。哈萨克斯坦超过90%的石油集中在其15个最大的油田，包括卡沙干、天吉兹和甘纳克。

????Kazakhstan to build new gas plant at Kashagan this year

????Kazakhstan′s Energy Minister Nurlan Nogayev spoke of the works ongoing at the Kashagan oilfield at a meeting of the Energy Ministry’s Board, Kazinform correspondent reported. The concept of Kashagan’s large-scale development is under preparation, the minister added.

????The project is expected to result in production of additional 800 million m3 of commercial gas and creation of new jobs as well as a rise in oil production from 8 to 10 million tons. The concept of Kashagan’s large-scale development is under preparation, the Energy minister added. This year it is planned to begin construction of a gas plant with a capacity of 1,150 billion m3 of raw gas and estimated at $860 million at the Kashagan oilfield, the minister said.

????The gas processing plant, set to come online in late 2021, will meet the demand of both domestic and foreign markets. According to the minister, all the facilities of pilot and industrial development stages are operational, with the production capacity of 400 000 barrels a day. However, the average daily production stands at 280 000 barrels due to the restrictions introduced in May 2020 by the Ministry.

????The facility is expected to help refine raw materials from highly toxic and aggressive hydrogen sulfide present in associated natural gas and as a result, increase crude oil production.

????Kazakhstan is the world’s 9th-largest crude oil exporter, accounting for 3% of the world’s total oil reserves. More than 90 % of Kazakhstan’s oil is concentrated in its 15 largest fields, which include Kashagan, Tengiz, and Karachaganak.?
