ASTANA, Kazakhstan, March 31. Kazakhstan’s
Prime Minister Olzhas Bektenov has instructed authorities to
intensify efforts to introduce domestic technologies in geological
exploration, Trend
reports via the government.
The directive was issued during a government meeting, where
Bektenov emphasized the need to reduce reliance on foreign
solutions in the sector.
“Active work must be carried out in this direction, including
allocating more funding for domestic technologies,” he said.
According to Askhat Khassenov, Chairman of KazMunayGas,
geological exploration in Kazakhstan currently relies largely on
foreign technologies. At the same time, modern solutions are
gradually being introduced in the industry.
Specifically, non-detonative seismic exploration techniques are
currently in use. At the Karazhanbas field, these innovations have
enhanced operational efficiency by 50 percent.
Meanwhile, Kazakhstan is also developing its domestic scientific
and technological base. In cooperation with research universities,
a project is underway to develop a sulfur-based polymer designed to
protect fertilizers. The introduction of this technology is
expected to reduce nitrogen losses and improve its efficiency of
use.
