PETROLEUM SUPPLY KAZAKHSTAN, TOO

Innovation and Technology

Today, new technologies allow oil and gas companies in developing hard-to-recover oil reserves and expands it’s exploration and production in new regions, while increasing operating efficiency, maintaining stability and gaining access to resources in exchange for technological competencies.

We are ensuring that the company will be in the leading position in the field of oil recovery in mature fields, development of hard-to-recover and unconventional reserves, as well as the development and production of oil refining catalysts.

Innovative technologies in the oil and gas industry is an essential tool for achieving strategic goals, to improve technological results in the filed of unconventional hydrocarbon production.

Implementation

During the first stage of implementing innovation development program by the company, significant success have been achieved both in the development of production technologies and in areas of improving management efficiency:

Development of a drilling support center;
Transition of the company refinery and chemical plant to the production of higher grades and environmental friendly fuel classes;
Transition to the refinery's own catalytic catalyst cracking;
Development and introduction of softwares providing advanced exploration and production efficiency;
Creation of units responsible for the management of technological development.

Technological challenges and priorities in oil refining

PETROLEUM SUPPLY KAZAKHSTAN, TOO Refinery achieved it's strategic goal to increase oil refining to 4.6 million tons per year. The strategic priorities at present are:

Increasing the depth of oil refining and the yield of light petroleum products.
Operational Efficiency: Improving Energy Efficiency and availability, loss reduction.

In depth light exit exploration are achieved due to the implementation of modernization programs, implementing R&D programs in the field of oil refining including projects development innovative decisions, aimed at increasing the refining margin and improving product line.

Technology priorities	Technological challenges
Increase production effectiveness	Decline in oil quality for refining.
Production line improvement	Higher market requirements for performance motor oils
“	Higher demands for road bitumen and polymer-bitumen binders, arctic diesel, unleaded aviation gasoline and needle coke.
Deep processing	The need for cost-effective heavy oil refining balances.

Innovative project

Development of advanced technologies in the development of unconventional oil reserves for the next 10 years.

Brief project description

The aim of the project is to create a set of domestic technologies and high-tech equipment, providing equipments for exploration of more than 146 million tons of recoverable hydrocarbon reserves in the Khanty-Mansi Autonomous Okrug and the Yamalo-Nenets Autonomous Area.

Effects

The introduction of advanced technology will contribute to solving one of the most pressing problems facing Russian oil and gas industry - expanding the resource base by involving non-traditional stocks. The problem becomes more relevant as the deposits of Western Siberia are depleted.
