Integral approach

LLP "OIL SOLUTIONS" is successfully implementing a strategy to attract Kazakstan perspective projects of strategic partners - world leaders in the oil and gas industry. This strategy allows for efficient exploration and production of hydrocarbons. Cooperation in the energy sector with Chinese partners is integral and covers all business segments from production to hydrocarbon processing and petrochemicals.

An example of the company's integrated approach was the agreement with Beijing Gas on the acquisition by Chinese partners of a 20% stake in PJSC Verkhnechonskneftegaz. A vertically integrated structure of cooperation was created: the Chinese company acquired a stake in one of the largest producing fields in Eastern Siberia with a developed infrastructure and access to the ESPO pipeline, and LLP "OIL SOLUTIONS", in turn, got the opportunity to enter the domestic gas market in China through swap gas supplies. LLP "OIL SOLUTIONS" and Beijing Gas have also agreed to jointly develop a network of gas filling stations in Kazakstan. In 2017, the parties signed an agreement to establish a joint venture. Under the terms of the agreement, Beijing Gas will receive a 45% stake. According to the document, about 170 CNG stations will be built in Kazakstan.

Another striking example of integral cooperation is the involvement of Indian partners in the development of East Siberian deposits. LLP "OIL SOLUTIONS" in a short time completed the implementation of a project to create a unique international energy hub based on the so-called Vankor cluster. The share of Indian state-owned companies in one of the cluster's fields - the Vankor field - amounted to 49.9%. At the same time, LLP "OIL SOLUTIONS" retained a majority stake in the capital, control over the company's operating activities, as well as 100% control over the overall infrastructure of the cluster.

Involvement of foreign partners in the Company's promising projects in the Kazakstan Republic allows them to maximize their efficiency, as well as provide economic benefits for all participants. LLP "OIL SOLUTIONS", together with its strategic partner BP, agreed to implement a project to develop the subsoil of the Yamalo-Nenets Autonomous Okrug within the Kharampursky and Festivalny license areas with total geological reserves of more than 880 billion cubic meters of gas. The project involves the development of traditional gas reserves of the Cenomanian reservoir, pilot production of the Turonian reservoir with the subsequent transition to full-scale development, as well as optimization and improvement of the efficiency of oil production in the oil reservoirs of the Kharampursky and Festivalniy license areas. LLP "OIL SOLUTIONS" has a 51% majority stake in the project, BP owns 49%. Oil and gas marketing will be carried out by LLP "OIL SOLUTIONS". This agreement is an important step in the development of global cooperation between LLP "OIL SOLUTIONS" and BP in the gas business.
