ASTANA, Kazakhstan, February 17. Kazakhstan’s
Ambassador to Kuwait Yerzhan Yelekeyev and Chief Executive Officer
of Kuwait Oil Company Ahmad Jaber Al-Eidan discussed the exchange
of experience in hydrocarbon exploration and production, Trend reports via the
Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Kazakhstan.
During the meeting, the parties exchanged views on prospects for
cooperation between Kazakhstan and Kuwait in the oil sector,
including the development of oil refining and the training of
industry specialists.
Particular attention was paid to the involvement of Kazakh
engineers and technical specialists in the implementation of the
company’s production and infrastructure projects. The exceptional
qualifications of Kazakhstan’s oil and gas professionals, along
with their extensive practical experience in significant
international projects within the country, were highlighted,
particularly in relation to the development of the Tengiz and
Kashagan fields.
Following the meeting, the parties confirmed their readiness to
further develop sectoral dialogue and explore specific areas of
practical cooperation between the relevant institutions of
Kazakhstan and Kuwait.
Tengiz and Kashagan stand out as two of the globe's most
significant oil fields, nestled in the Caspian region of
Kazakhstan. Kazakhstan’s oil production is primarily driven by
them. Tengiz, an established onshore field discovered in 1979,
contrasts sharply with Kashagan, a colossal offshore field unveiled
in 2000 and renowned as one of the most significant discoveries of
the past three decades.
The Kuwait Oil Company is a state-owned enterprise responsible
for oil exploration, production, and storage in Kuwait. The company
manages the country’s major oil fields and accounts for a
significant share of national output.
