- Kyzyloi Field
The Kyzyloi Field is a dry natural gas field in southern Kazakhstan about convert|65|km|mi|0 to the north of the border with the Karalkalpak region of Uzbekistan and convert|55|km|mi|0 to the north-west of the
Aral Sea . It is a first gas field in Kazakhstan, which is operated by independent operator.Field specification
Kyzyloi Field, which covers convert|287|km2|sqmi|0, was discovered in
1966 . It contains sweet natural gas (97%methane ) in shallow sandstones of Paleogene age at a depth of approximately convert|600|m|ft|-2. The net proved and probable economically recoverable reserves are approximately 1.42 billion cubic meter.cite web | publisher= CanArgo Energy Corporation | url= http://www.canargo.com/Investor%20Information/Press%20Releases/2006/060109.pdf | title = Kazakhstan Gas Contract Signed | format = PDF | date =2005-01-09 | accessdate=2008-01-06]Production
A commercial gas production commenced on
19 December 2007 . The initial production capacity is 0.6 million cubic meters (mm cm) per day, which by March 2008 will increase to 0.625 mm cm. All produced gas is sold tothe gas trading company GazImpex and assigned to Kazakhstan's Petrochemical Company Kemikal LLP.cite web | publisher= OilVoice | url= http://www.oilvoice.com/n/Tethys_Petroleum_Announces_Production_Startup_From_Kyzyloi_Gas_Field_in_Kazakhstan/36eb2857.aspx | title = Tethys Petroleum Announces Production Start-up From Kyzyloi Gas Field in Kazakhstan | date =2007-12-19 | accessdate=2008-01-06]Gas is exported from the Kyzyloi field along a convert|56|km2|sqmi|0 pipeline to Tethys’ compressor station adjacent to the tie-in point to the major Bukhara-Urals export trunkline system where three gas fired compressors compress the gas into the trunkline. Compressors pump gas into the line at a pressure of up to 54 atmospheres.
Operator
The field is developed and operated by BN Munai LLP, a subsidiary of Tethys Petroleum Investments Limited, which is a wholly owned subsidiary of
CanArgo Energy Corporation .References
