Kashagan, offshore oil and gas in Kazakhstan

Plant on the coast of Kazakhstan

Kashagan is an offshore oil & gas field located in the Caspian Sea, near the city of Atyrau, Kazakhstan. It represents one of the biggest energy discoveries of recent decades. Following the first oil shipment, development activities focused on production and on increasing the treatment capacity for associated gas.

In Kazakhstan, alongside our exploration activities, we are committed to infrastructure development initiatives, particularly focusing on schools, hospitals, sports facilities, roads, power grids and water supply systems. Given its scale and technical, environmental and logistical characteristics, Kashagan is among the most complex and challenging industrial projects ever undertaken globally.

Project development and operation

Exploration and development in the Caspian Sea

The production of oil & gas in Kashagan is seeing steady growth, supported by  development phase studies implemented during our activities. These include the expansion of natural gas injection capacity, the conversion of wells from producers to injectors and the upgrading of existing facilities.

Eni has been present in Kazakhstan since 1992 where it is a co-operator of the Karachaganak field and participates in the North Caspian Sea PSA consortium which is responsible for operations at the Kashagan field. Guided by our commitment to biodiversity, in any geographical area in which we operate, we strictly avoid exploration activities within the UNESCO World Heritage Sites across worldwide.
