Our activities in Kazakhstan

Group of workers observe a colleague's computer together

In Kazakhstan, we are present in the exploration, development and production of hydrocarbons and natural gas, as well as in the renewable energy sector, with two wind power plants in Badamsha, in the region of Aktobe. The development of projects for the generation of electricity from renewable sources and experimentation with crops from which to extract raw materials for the production of biofuels are part of our commitment in Central Asia, where we create renewable and circular solutions to drive the energy transition. In this area we also focus on gas and new technologies.

How we operate in the country

The extraction of oil and gas from the large fields of Karachaganak and Kashagan

We are partners of the Karachaganak field for the production of oil, condensates and natural gas and  we are part of the North Caspian Sea PSA consortium responsible for the operations of the Kashagan oil and gas field. We also operate the Isatay and Abay blocks located in Kazakh waters in the Caspian Sea with state-run company Kaz-MunayGas (KMG).

Renewable energy production projects and decarbonization agreements

To accelerate the energy transition, we have built the Badamsha 1 and Badamsha 2 wind farms and and started construction of an innovative 250 MW hybrid renewable and gas project in the Mangystau region. The solar and wind power generated will provide stable, low-carbon electricity to KMG facilities in the area, balanced with additional capacity from a gas power plant. The project leverages our international industrial expertise and pioneers the hybrid combination of state-of-the-art renewable power plants.  The 50 MW photovoltaic plant inaugurated in the Turkestan region further expands the country’s renewable energy production.

 

We are also developing hydrogen and agribusiness projects with the state-owned KazMunaiGas, the Samruk-Kazyna Sovereign Wealth Fund (SK) and QazaqGaz (SK's portfolio company) and have signed additional energy transition and strategic cooperation agreements to share scientific research and develop new technologies.

Road safety and university education

We have launched higher education courses via our Eni Corporate University, in collaboration with leading universities, for example the University of Pavia for the Master Medea and the Kazakh British Technical University (KBTU). To make the roads of the West Kazakhstan Region safer, numerous training activities have been held for police offers, teachers, students and representatives of non-governmental organisations. We have contributed to improving the energy efficiency of a secondary school in Turkistan with the installation of a photovoltaic system, thermostats and insulating film.
