Environmental

Oil, gas and minerals exploration and production is a long-term activity requiring effective environmental stewardship. We have operated in Kazakhstan now for more than 20 years and have only been able to do so by complying with applicable environmental standards.

We recognise that society is transitioning towards a low-carbon future, and we support this goal. However, we believe that oil will continue to play an important role in the global economy for many years to come, and new sources of oil supply will be required for a sustainable energy transition.

Assessing the Risks

We look to the Kazakh regulatory authorities to set the standards to which we work.

Compliance With the Standards

We seek to comply with all relevant Kazakh environmental requirements, including environmental laws and regulations and industry guidelines.

Specific Initiatives

• We seek to recycle gas produced as a by-product at BNG to power the Contract Area’s day-to-day operations.
• We seek wherever possible to avoid flaring, which in any event is a regulated activity.
• Our workers are drawn from the local community, lessening the transportation carbon footprint
• We make extensive use of existing oil pipelines to move our oil

Health and Safety

Our daily operations prioritise health and safety and protecting the environment and we seek to comply with all applicable health and safety related regulations.
