The Country of the Subsoil Assets and Great Victories
Annual Report 2019 The Country of the Subsoil Assets and Great Victories 12 The Country of the Subsoil Assets and Great Victories The Kazakhstan Oil is 120 years old: Everything started in Emba In 2019 the national oil-and-gas industry celebrated the 120-year jubilee. Absolutely this is the remarkable date for all Kazakhstan and for Embamunaigas JSC. There was in the first Emba fields that the glorious future of the Kazakhstan oil industry was built, which is today the locomotive of the country socio-economic development. he history of the Kazakhstan oil industry The oil of Karashungul is decribed as “…very light Tbegins upon in Atyrau terrain, from the first oil, / specific weight of the freshly mined oil in 2–3 gush of oil in the well № 7 of the Karashungul days makes 0.849 /, transparent and prolific in structure in 1899 (now this is the contract territory gases”. of Embamunaigas JSC in Zhylyoyskiy district in Atyrau region). There is also the information on 20 wells in Karaton, drilled in 1900, and some wells drilled in Thsi event was the result of almost two hundred 1908. Karaton is characterozed as “dome-shaped years of research in this region, starting with occurence of oil-bearing strata”. the expeditions of Prince Alexander Bekovich- Cherkasskiy, the campaigns of Ivan Buchholz In 1908 in Iskine deposit, in the well № 5, from (1671–1741), the companion of Tsar Peter the Great, the depth 228 meters, the petroleum industrialist and other researchers.

Approximately 95% of Kazakhstan’s forests are managed by 123 state forestry entities, which are overseen by regional governments (akimats). Under the current forest governance system, forestry entities lack sufficient capacity to effectively manage HCVF, including those forests neighboring highly biodiverse protected areas. Kazakhstan’s protected area system covers approximately 24,018,800 ha, or 8.81% (as of 2015) of the total country, although only 5% of Kazakhstan’s forests are included within protected areas. Therefore, forest ecosystems are underrepresented in the national protected area systems. Kazakhstan has three main forest ecosystem types: alpine forests, tugai (riparian) forests, and saxaul landscapes (desert and semi-desert shrubs). GEF-UNDP Project “«Conservation and sustainable management of key globally important ecosystems for multiple benefits» (hereinafter referred as Project) has being implemented in Kazakhstan since 2018. -
The Kashagan Oil Bubble. the Case of An
Y T I L I B A T N U O C C A E D U R C Y B D E R A P E R P THE KASHAGAN T OIL BUBBLE R O 7 1 P THE CASE OF AN OFFSHORE FIELD 0 E DEVELOPMENT IN KAZAKHSTAN R 2 SUMMARY This report offers an overview of the political and economic reasons behind the development of Kazakhstan’s part of the Caspian Sea since the country's independence, with a particular focus on Kashagan, believed to be one of the world’s largest oilfields. One of Kazakhstan’s biggest oil projects, Kashagan is not only an international leader in budget blowouts, engineering missteps, and scandals but also one of the reasons why the country’s economic strategy relying on Caspian offshore hydrocarbon reserves has failed. The Kashagan story is about geopolitical gambling with “big oil” in the Caspian Sea and inflating the oil bubble in global markets. Sovereign Kazakhstan has become hostage to its oil sector and can face serious economic loss and an environmental disaster in the region by developing an oilfield as challenging as Kashagan. 2 FOREWORD Younger people today would find it hard to even imagine how much “big oil” and the prospects of the country becoming a new oil giant was discussed in Kazakhstan in the first decade of its independence. It was like a mass craze in the upper levels of government. Estimated volumes of oil yet to be produced and oil revenues yet to be gained were growing exponentially like in a fairy tale, transforming Kazakhstan, by a mere wish, into a new Kuwait on the Caspian shore. -

Nazarbayev Str., 100027, Karaganda, Republic of Kazakhstan 2Volodymyr Dahl East Ukrainian National University, 59a Central Ave., Severodonetsk, 93406, Ukraine Abstract. The article is devoted to the analysis and systematization of data on hydrocarbon deposits in the Republic of Kazakhstan, highlighting those aspects that will allow the use of this method. The microbiological method of exposure refers to the chemical methods of the tertiary stage of development of oil reservoirs. It has already proven its effectiveness in highly depleted, waterflooded formations with irregular, diffuse oil saturation. Its main advantages are its relative cheapness, it does not require additional equipment during injecting of the microorganisms into the reservoir, and for their nutrition, as a rule, food industry waste is used, and its implementation cannot cause harmful effects on the environment. Also, a fairly extensive database was compiled, according to which various classifications of the republic's deposits were created. 1 Introduction removed, plus gases that can be extremely hazardous to health will be released.

GeoJournal of Tourism and Geosites, 30(2spl), 782–787. https://doi.org/10.30892/gtg.302spl01-505 Abstract: The purpose of our research is to assess the potential and conditions for the development of health tourism based on the therapeutic mud of salt lakes of West Kazakhstan. Using classical methods of hydrological and hydrogeological research, the certification of mineral waters and therapeutic mud (raps and peloids) of the lakes Inder, Aralsor, Alzhansor, Hakisor, Sorkol, Bolshoy Sor, was carried out and the qualitative components of the raps and mud of these lakes were investigated. The analysis of the obtained data showed that a strongly sulphide salinized class of mud prevails in the two lakes studied: the Inder and the Alzhansor (Elton type). The Aralsor and Lake Hakisor are characterized by a sulphide weakly alkaline class (Karachi type). The mud of salty Lake Sorkol (Medvezhinsky type) and the Bolshoy Sor (Cheder type) belongs to the class of weakly sulphide. The expediency of sanatorium-resort and medical-health tourist use -

THE CASPIAN average width SEA 320 km average length The Caspian Sea is the largest landlocked drainless water body in the world. It is a 1 200 km lake by definition, but due to its size and bed resembling an ocean bed, the Caspian coastline length is traditionally called a sea. 7 000 km The Caspian Sea, along with the Black Sea, used to form a part of the single Sarmatian maximum Sea that split about a million years ago. depth The name ‘Caspian’ is derived from an 1 025 m ancient tribe of Caspians that populated its coastal area before the current era. The sea offshore was previously called differently, i.e. the area Girkanian Sea, the Khazar Sea, the 371 thousand km2 Khvalynian Sea. average The Caspian Sea is located at the border of salinity two continents, Europe and Asia. In 12.7 ‰ physical and geographical terms, the sea is divided into three parts, i. e. the North number Caspian, the Middle Caspian and the South of littoral states Caspian.
