In 2021, the total increase in raw hydrocarbon reserves was 39.2 mln tonnes, mainly due to the fields of Ozenmunaygas JSC, KMG Kashagan B.V. and Karazhanbasmunay JSC. The increase in HCs reserves is mostly due to the additional exploration of Uzen deposit.
Seven major fields currently account for 73% of oil production at the Company’s operating assets: Uzen and Karamandybas (Ozenmunaygas JSC), Kalamkas and Zhetybai (Mangistaumunaigas JSC), S. Nurzhanov and East Moldabek (Embamunaygas JSC), Karazhanbas (Karazhanbasmunay JSC)
KMTF transported 537,000 tonnes of oil in the Caspian Region in 2021 with its own tanker fleet, or 99% of the target (540,000 tonnes).
Oil transportation performance in the Black and Mediterranean Seas for 2021 was 9,318,000 tonnes, or 185% of the target (5,040,000 tonnes).
Of the total volume, 2,718,000 tonnes were transported by the own fleet and 6,600,000 tonnes by chartered vessels.

Satti jack-up self-elevating drilling rig (JUR) is the first drilling rig built entirely in Kazakhstan in accordance with international standards. JUR is a Keppel FELS Class B 3-leg design, capable of drilling offshore wells more than 6000 metres deep at water depth from 5 to 80 metres.
In 2019 - 2021, JUR was modified at the base of Caspian Drilling Company Ltd. in Baku. JUR modification allowed to increase its load capacity from 453 to 680 tonnes.
In 2021, JUR began drilling operations in the Azerbaijan Sector of the Caspian Sea at BP’s Shallow Water Absheron Peninsula structure.
The project implementation has improved KMG’s competitiveness, provided an opportunity to become one of the leaders in offshore drilling and improve the level of professional training of production personnel in accordance with global criteria.
Within the framework of the Memorandum of Cooperation between the Ministry of Ecology, Geology and Natural Resources and KMG, work is underway on waste disposal and cleaning of oil-contaminated lands in the contract territories of MMG, OMG and KBM.
