Energy from renewables
Oil & Gas
In Kazakhstan, we operate across the entire energy value chain: from the exploration, development and production of hydrocarbons to the the renewable energy sector, where we are present with two wind farms in Badamsha, in the region of Aktobe. Our work in Central Asia focuses on accelerating the energy transition through the development of renewable energy power generation facility. In parallel, we are promoting circular economy solutions by running trials of crops grown specifically for the production of advanced biofuels. In the Region, we are also focusing on gas the integration of new technologies.
Data inizio attività: 1992 - in corso
We are partners of Karachaganak, one of the world’s largest 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).
To accelerate the energy transition we have built the Badamsha 1 and Badamsha 2 wind farms and have started the 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 cutting-edge renewable energy systems. The 50 MW photovoltaic plant inaugurated in the Turkestan Region further expands the country’s renewable energy production. Together with the state-owned KazMunaiGas (KMG), the Samruk-Kazyna Sovereign Wealth Fund (SK) and QazaqGaz (SK's portfolio company), we are developing projects in the fields of hydrogen and agri business, following the signing of additional agreements on energy transition and strategic cooperation to share scientific research and develop new technologies.
We have launched high level study programmes through Eni Corporate University, in collaboration with leading universities, such as the University of Pavia for the Master Medea and the Kazakh British Technical University (KBTU). To improve road safety in the West Kazakhstan Oblast (WKO) we have organised numerous training sessions for police officers, teachers, students and representatives of non-governmental organisations. We have contributed to improving the energy efficiency at a secondary school in Turkistan by installing a photovoltaic system, thermostats and insulating film.
From the development of large fields to projects for the production of clean energy, we accompany the country towards the energy transition.
The start of construction has been announced for a combined wind and solar farm and a gas power plant in the Mangystau Region.
The farm covers an area of 100 hectares and will be equipped with solar panels and a power substation connected to the local grid.
Badamsha 2 is the second Eni’s wind energy project in the Region of Aktobe and doubles the installed capacity of the Badamsha 1 wind farm entered into service at the beginning of 2020.
The farm will supply electricity to the Region of Aktobe.
The MWp farm will be constructed by Eni in the Region of Turkistan.
The company will supply onshore wind turbines, 85 metres in height, for the construction of the wind farm.
The conditions for hydrocarbon exploration in Isatay are renewed and it is now possible to develop renewable energy generation projects in the country.
The first shipment of crude oil produced by the onshore processing plant is to be exported.
The company begins its exploration activities across the country
Thanks to the installation of new reinjection facilities, production capacity has been steadily increased.
The field boasts significant potential and stands as one of the most complex and challenging industrial projects in the world.
We produce renewable and zero-emission energy in two wind farms and then feed it into the local grid.
