Karachaganak

Eni has been present in Kazakhstan since 1992.
The main activities are performed in the onshore Karachaganak field in western Kazakhstan and in the area covered by the offshore North Caspian Sea PSA in the shallow waters of the Northern Caspian Sea, where Kashagan project is in development.

In the medium term Eni's production in Kazakhstan is expected to grow and exceed 100kboepd due to the contribution of increased gas volumes produced at Karachaganak and the start up of Kashagan.

Eni is co-operator with BG lpc, with a 32.5% interest of the Karachaganak oil, gas and condensate field. In 2008 production from this field (net to Eni) averaged 68 kbl/d of liquids and 6.9 mmscm/d of natural gas, totalling 111 kboe/d. Approximately 70% of the liquid production is stabilized at the Karachaganak Processing Complex (KPC) with a capacity of 165 kbbl/d, The stabilised liquid is exported to Western markets, the majority through the Caspian Pipeline Consortium's pipeline (Eni's interest 2%) which is linked to the field by a 635 kilometre  pipeline, whilst the remaining liquid flows though the Atyrau-Samara pipeline.
