Over the past 30 years, there have been trends in which world GDP is growing by an average of 3.3% per year, while world demand for oil as the main source of hydrocarbons is growing by an average of 1% per year. The lag in hydrocarbon consumption from GDP growth is associated with resource conservation processes, mainly in developed countries... At the same time, the share of developing countries in the production of GDP and in the consumption of hydrocarbons is constantly increasing. In this case, an increasing exacerbation of the problems of supply of hydrocarbons is expected.

The territorial proximity of such largest and dynamically developing countries as Russia and China opens up broad prospects for the export of Kazakhstani hydrocarbons. To ensure access to their market, it is necessary to develop and improve the system of trunk pipelines.

The assessments of international experts show that if the current trends continue, all the world's proven oil reserves will only last for 40-50 years. The addition of KSCM's petroleum resources to the world's proven reserves is a defining factor in global energy strategies. Kazakhstan should be ready for a flexible combination of strategies for the systematic transfer of oil production to the Caspian Sea and forcing certain promising projects. And one of the most promising projects is the Kashagan field.

Named after a 19th century Kazakh poet who was born in the Mangistau region, the Kashagan field is one of the world's largest discoveries over the past 40 years. Belongs to the Caspian oil and gas province.

The Kashagan field is located in the Kazakh sector of the Caspian Sea and covers an area of ​​approximately 75 x 45 kilometers. The reservoir lies at a depth of about 4,200 meters below the seabed in the northern part of the Caspian Sea.

Kashagan, as a high-amplitude, reef uplift in the subsalt Paleozoic complex of the North Caspian Sea, was discovered by prospecting seismic works by Soviet geophysicists in the period 1988-1991. on the sea continuation of the Karaton-Tengiz zone of uplifts.

Subsequently, it was confirmed by studies of Western geophysical companies commissioned by the government of Kazakhstan. The Kashagan, Korogly and Nubar massifs, originally identified in its composition in the period 1995-1999. were named Kashagan East, West and South-West, respectively.

The dimensions of East Kashagan along the closed isohypse - 5000 m are 40 (10/25) km, area - 930 km², uplift amplitude - 1300 m. km², the average oil-saturated thickness is 550 m.

Kashagan Western borders on Eastern Kashagan along a submeridional structural scarp, which is possibly associated with tectonic dislocation. The dimensions of the reef uplift along the closed stratoisohypse - 5000 m are 40 * 10 km, the area is 490 km², the amplitude is 900 m. , the average oil-saturated thickness is 350 m.

Southwestern Kashagan is located somewhat to the side (south) of the main massif. The uplift along the closed stratoisohypse - 5400 m has dimensions of 97 km, area - 47 km², amplitude - 500 m. OWC is predicted at an absolute elevation of 5300 m, oil-bearing area - 33 km², average oil-saturated thickness - 200 m.

Kashagan's oil reserves vary widely from 1.5 to 10.5 billion tons. Of these, the Eastern accounts for 1.1 to 8 billion tons, the Western - up to 2.5 billion tons, and the South-Western - 150 million tons.

The geological reserves of Kashagan are estimated at 4.8 billion tons of oil, according to Kazakh geologists.

According to the project operator, the total oil reserves are 38 billion barrels or 6 billion tons, of which about 10 billion barrels are recoverable. Kashagan has large reserves of natural gas over 1 trillion. cub. meters.

Partner companies in the Kashagan project: Eni, KMG Kashagan B.V. (a subsidiary of Kazmunaigaz), Total, ExxonMobil, Royal Dutch Shell each have a 16.81% stake, ConocoPhillips - 8.4%, Inpex - 7.56%.

The project operator was appointed in 2001 by partners: Eni, and created the Agip KCO company. The project participants are working on the creation of a joint operating company North Caspian Operating Company (NCOC), which will replace AgipKCO and a number of agent companies in the role of a single operator.

The Kazakh government and the international consortium for the development of the North Caspian project (including the Kashagan field) agreed to postpone the start of oil production from 2011 to the end of 2012.

Oil production at Kashagan should reach 50 million tons per year by the end of the next decade. Oil production at Kashagan, according to ENI estimates, in 2019 should reach 75 million tons per year. With Kashagan, Kazakhstan will enter the Top 5 of the world's oil producers.

In order to increase oil recovery and reduce H3S content, the consortium is preparing to use several onshore and offshore installations in Karabatan to inject natural gas into the reservoir, an oil pipeline and a gas pipeline with Karabatan will be built.

The development of the Kashagan field in the harsh offshore environment of the North Caspian presents a unique combination of technological and supply chain challenges. These difficulties are associated with ensuring the safety of production, solving engineering, logistics and environmental problems, which makes this project one of the largest and most complex industrial projects in the world.

The field is characterized by high reservoir pressure up to 850 atmospheres. High quality oil -46 ° API, but with a high GOR, hydrogen sulfide and mercaptan content.

Kashagan was announced in the summer of 2000 following the results of drilling the first well Vostok-1 (East Kashagan-1). Its daily flow rate was 600 m³ of oil and 200 thousand m³ of gas. The second well (West-1) was drilled in West Kashagan in May 2001, 40 km from the first. It showed a daily flow rate of 540 cubic meters of oil and 215 thousand cubic meters of gas.

For the development and assessment of Kashagan, 2 artificial islands were built, 6 exploration, 6 appraisal wells were drilled (Vostok-1, Vostok-2, Vostok-3, Vostok-4, Vostok-5, West-1.

Due to the shallow waters and cold winters in the North Caspian, the use of traditional drilling and production technologies such as reinforced concrete structures or jack-up platforms installed on the seabed is not possible.

To provide protection from harsh winter conditions and ice movements, offshore structures are installed on artificial islands. Two types of islands are envisaged: small "drilling" islands without personnel and large "islands with technological complexes" (ETC) with maintenance personnel.

Hydrocarbons will be pumped through pipelines from the drilling islands to the ETC. The ETC islands will house process units for the recovery of the liquid phase (oil and water) from raw gas, gas injection units and power systems.

In Phase I, approximately half of the total gas produced will be injected back into the reservoir. The recovered fluids and crude gas will be piped to the shore at the Bolashak plant in the Atyrau region, where it is planned to prepare the oil to commercial quality. Some of the gas will be sent back to the offshore complex for use in power generation, while some of the gas will meet similar needs of the onshore complex.

There are a number of technical difficulties in the development strategy of Kashagan:

    The Kashagan reservoir lies at a depth of about 4,200 meters below the seabed and has high pressure(initial reservoir pressure 770 bar). The reservoir is characterized by an increased content of sour gas.

    The low level of salinity caused by the influx of fresh water from the Volga, combined with shallow water and temperatures down to -30C in winter, leads to the fact that the North Caspian is covered with ice for about five months a year. Ice movement and furrowing from the movement of ice on the seabed represent serious constraints on construction activities.

    The North Caspian is a very sensitive ecological zone and habitat for a variety of flora and fauna, including some rare species. Environmental responsibility is our top priority for NCOC. We work steadily and vigorously to prevent and minimize any environmental impact that may arise from our operations.

    The North Caspian region is an area where the supply of equipment important for the project is associated with certain difficulties. Logistical difficulties are compounded by restrictions on access to water transport routes such as the Volga-Don Canal and the Baltic Sea-Volga water transport system, which, due to heavy ice cover, are only open for navigation for about six months a year.

I would like to note the export strategy of this project. The existing plan for the export of post-field production provides for the use of existing pipeline and rail systems.

The western route of the CPC pipeline (pipeline from Atyrau to Novorossiysk along the Black Sea coast), the northern route from Atyrau to Samara (connecting to the Russian Transneft system) and the eastern route (Atyrau to Alashankou) provide connections to existing export transportation systems.

A possible southeastern route depends on the development of the Kazakhstan Caspian Transportation System (KCTS), which could pump oil from Eskene West, where the Bolashak plant is located, to the new Kuryk terminal. The oil can then be transported by tanker to a new terminal near Baku, where it would be pumped into the Baku-Tbilisi-Ceyhan (BTC) pipeline system or other pipelines to enter international markets.
All possible export routes are currently being explored.

This project takes into account safety and environmental protection. Since the formation of the first consortium in 1993, many environmental protection programs have been developed and implemented during onshore and offshore oilfield operations. For example, Agip KCO engaged local companies to carry out an environmental impact assessment (EIA) for its activities, including the construction of onshore and offshore facilities, trunk pipelines and onshore export pipelines. A program was initiated to fund scientific research in the field of biological diversity in the Caspian region. Twenty air quality monitoring stations were built in the Atyrau region. Soil research and monitoring of the state of the population of birds and seals are carried out annually. In 2008, a map of the environmentally sensitive areas of the North Caspian region was published, created, among other things, on the basis of data collected by the consortium.

There are also problems with sulfur utilization. The Kashagan field contains about 52 trillion cubic feet of associated gas, most of which will be re-injected at offshore facilities to improve oil recovery. In Phase 1 (Pilot Development Phase), not all associated gas will be re-injected into the reservoir at offshore facilities. Part of it will be sent to an onshore oil and gas processing unit, where the gas desulfurization process will take place, which will then be used as fuel gas to generate electricity for onshore and offshore operations, while part of it will be sold on the market as a commercial gas. Phase 1 plans to produce an average of 1.1 million tonnes of sulfur per year from sour gas purification.
Although the consortium plans to sell the entire volume of sulfur produced, it may become necessary to temporarily store the sulfur. Sulfur produced at the Bolashak plant will be stored in closed conditions, isolated from the environment. Liquid sulfur will be poured into sealed containers equipped with sensors. Sulfur will be converted to a pastelled form prior to marketing to avoid the formation of sulfur dust during crushing.

In addition to a responsible approach to the conduct of production operations, program participants take on social and environmental obligations, the fulfillment of which will benefit the citizens of Kazakhstan in the long term. Fulfilling these obligations requires close cooperation with state and local authorities, with the local community and initiative groups.

    In the period from 2006 to 2009. more than US $ 5.3 billion was spent on purchasing local goods and services. In 2009, payments for local goods and services accounted for 35% of the company's total expenses.

    In 2009, during the period of maximum activity in the construction of facilities of the Pilot Development Stage, more than 40,000 people were employed in the project in Kazakhstan. More than 80% of the workers were citizens of Kazakhstan - an exceptional figure for projects of this scale.

    Infrastructure projects and social significance are essential components of NCOC's corporate and social responsibility. According to the NCSPSA, a significant part of the investment in the development of the field is spent on the construction of social infrastructure facilities in the field of education, health care, sports and culture. Funds are evenly distributed between Atyrau and Mangistau regions, where production operations are carried out according to the SPSS.

    Since 1998, 126 projects have been implemented in close cooperation with local authorities, 60 projects in the Atyrau region and 66 in the Mangistau region. A total of US $ 78 million was spent in the Atyrau region and US $ 113 million - in the Mangistau region.

    In addition, under the 2009 Sponsorship and Philanthropy Program, NCOC and Agip KCO have supported more than 100 cultural, health, education and sports initiatives. Among them are advanced training of doctors and teachers, seminars on intercultural education and environmental literacy in schools, inviting leading Russian surgeons to operate on Atyrau children, buying musical instruments for the Aktau school and purchasing medical equipment and ambulances for a hospital in Tupkaragan.

Occupational health and safety play an important role. The participants in this project will carry out systematic risk management in order to continuously improve the health, labor and environment protection system and reach the level of world leaders in this indicator. All this is carried out in accordance with the requirements of the Production Sharing Agreement for the Northern Caspian Sea, Kazakh and international legislation, existing industry standards and corporate directives.

All participants of the SPSPS undertake:

    To carry out their activities, ensuring the health and safety of all employees directly or indirectly involved in these activities, the environment in which their production operations are carried out, as well as the company's assets.

    Manage the consortium's activities and related risks in accordance with the requirements of the North Caspian Production Sharing Agreement, Kazakh and international legislation, and apply the best existing industry standards in those matters that cannot be regulated by laws and regulations.

    Promote the integration of HSE principles into the culture of the company, where all workers and service providers have a joint responsibility to implement these principles and lead by example.

    Develop systems that allow for a systematic assessment of HSE risks at all stages of the company's activities and effectively control these risks.

    Develop, carry out certification of the HSE management system and continuously inform the Agents, the Authorized Body, all interested parties about the state of the art in the field of HSE in order to continuously improve.

    Select business partners based on their ability to meet their HSE obligations.

    Implement systems and procedures that allow for an immediate and effective response to unplanned and undesirable events, and carry out their regular review.

    Raise the level of awareness of the personal responsibility of all employees of the company in matters of preventing the risks of accidents, damage to health and the environment.

    Collaborate with government bodies Of the Republic of Kazakhstan and all interested parties in order to develop regulations and standards aimed at improving the safety of company employees and protecting the environment.

    Apply a constructive approach in their activities based on dialogue with stakeholders and the public and aimed at achieving recognition of the company's activities by the local community through the implementation of social programs.

Sponsorship and Philanthropy projects aim to promote economic sustainability and welfare, support health care, education, culture and cultural heritage, sports, and help eligible low-income people, and align with NCOC's strategic goals of sustainable development. The implementation of the sponsorship and charity program is entrusted to Agip KCO.

In particular, projects involve their own contributions from the participants themselves, and must also demonstrate to the public their long-term sustainability. The support of political or religious organizations is excluded, projects cannot create unfair conditions for market competition, negatively affect environmental stability and / or natural ecosystems. Projects are usually developed by local authorities, NGOs or community representatives, but can also be initiated by NCOC or its Agents as proactive measures to support local communities.

    Section 1. Geological and industrial characteristics of the field

    1.1 Geological characteristics of the area

    The area of ​​the deposit is a wide, slightly hilly plain, forming a vast watershed between the basins of the Bolshoi Irgiz and Bolshoi Uzen rivers. The general slope of the terrain is to the northwest.

    The hydrographic network is represented by the Bolshoi Irgiz rivers with tributaries and rivers Bolshoy Uzen and Maliy Uzen. The river valleys in the area are well developed. In them, in addition to modern floodplain terraces, there are three or four above-floodplain terraces.

    The climate of the region is sharply continental, with cold stable winters and hot summers. The average annual temperature is 4 0WITH.

    The amount of atmospheric precipitation in the warm period is on average 350 mm, and in the cold - 102-122 mm, the depth of soil freezing is 0.5-1.5 m. Winds of the eastern and southeastern directions prevail.

    Useful strata at the site is represented by carbonate rocks of the Orenburg Stage of the Upper Carboniferous.

    Most of the explored limestones are of light gray variety.

    Dark gray and gray limestones are of subordinate importance. Fractured limestones, the most fractured are the upper layers of limestones to a depth of 5 m.

    At a depth of 5-10 meters, fracturing is expressed to a much lesser extent. Most of the cracks are developed in bedding. Vertical cracks are much less common. In appearance, as well as on the basis of physical and mechanical properties and chemical analyzes, limestones of this deposit are divided into two units.

    The rocks of the upper first member are represented by dolomitized limestones, fine-crystalline, light gray and gray, in places with yellowish, bluish and violet tints. The thickness of the limestones of the first member ranges from 5.35 m to 8.6 m, on average 6.97 m.

    The second member is separated from the first by sandy-argillaceous material with limestone crushed stone. The rocks of the second member are represented by limestones and slightly dolomitized light gray limestones. The thickness of the limestones of the second member ranges from 5.0 m to 11.65 m, on average 8.17 m.

    In the mass of limestones, karst manifestations are observed in the form of small cavities filled with blocks of leached limestones, crushed stone, fine-grained sands and a calcareous-clay mass.

    Average geological section for the field (top to bottom):

    - soil-vegetation layer and brownish-yellow loam with a thickness of 1.2-1.5 m;

    - dolomitized limestones of gray, light gray color, in places with yellowish, pink tints, 0.53-6.6 m thick;

    - an interlayer of sandy-clayey material with crushed limestone, 0.8-5.3 m thick;

    - light gray limestone, less often of a dark color, slightly dolomitized, occasionally fractured, 0.65-11.35 m thick.

    1.2 Hydrogeological conditions of the field

    Hydrogeological exploration data have identified two aquifers at the field, which have a major impact on development. These aquifers are confined to Neogene and Carboniferous deposits. In Neogene sediments, groundwater is confined to sandy-argillaceous rocks and, due to the insignificant distribution of the latter in the area of ​​the deposit, are not significant in development.

    A thick aquifer is confined to the thickness of limestones, the water of which circulates through cracks and karst cavities. The horizon is fed due to the infiltration of atmospheric precipitation and due to the backwater of deep confined waters. This aquifer is found almost everywhere, the level of occurrence of the horizon, depending on the terrain, ranges from 28.34 m to 29.34 m, averaging 28.5 m.For calculating the reserves, an elevation of +29.0 m was taken.

    1.3 Qualitative characteristics of a mineral

    Physical and mechanical tests carried out during production

    geological exploration, show a high quality characteristic of limestones: they are suitable for use on crushed stone, rubble stone.

    The main working properties that characterize limestone are mechanical strength, frost resistance, bulk density, porosity and water absorption. All these properties are in a certain dependence on the qualitative and quantitative composition of the rock, on its structure, fracturing, as well as on the degree of weathering of the rocks.

    According to the results of laboratory tests, the bulk of limestone in terms of strength meets the requirements of GOST 8287-93.

    Deposits of the Upper Carboniferous are represented by highly dolomitized limestones of light gray, yellow-gray, grayish-yellow color, dense, medium strength and strong, weakly fractured, areas along fractures are weakly ferruginous.

    These deposits compose the useful strata of the deposit.

    According to exploration data, the productive strata of the entire explored area is characterized by the following qualities of limestone: limestone with a strength of more than 1000 kg / cm 2, alternating with limestones with a strength of 331-800 kg / cm 2.

    In the lower part of the productive strata (in the range of marks 30.5-33.5 m), limestones of grade "800" and higher are traced, suitable for concrete grade "500".

    Limestone reserves are approved for the production of crushed stone as a filler for ordinary and heavy concrete of grade not lower than "200", and for the production of ballast layer of railways and highways.

    1.7 Operational reconnaissance

    No operational exploration is planned for 2008.

    Section 2. Mining operations

    2.1 Main directions of mining development in 2008

    In 2008, it is planned to develop the southern part of the site along the border of reserves calculation.

    The overburden thickness is 5 m on average.

    The height of the production bench does not exceed 12.0 m, the bottom elevation is +29.0 m (to the lower technical boundary of the field development, which is 1 m higher than the average value of the groundwater level).

    2.2 Opening and preparation for exploitation of new horizons

    The deposit was opened by a permanent internal entry trench. The development of the useful strata is carried out by one production horizon.

    Opening of new horizons in 2008 is not planned.

    2.3 Development system and its parameters

    The plan for the experimental-industrial development of the quarry adopted a continuous, transport system of development with a single-side front of stripping and mining operations, with internal dumping. This system provides the safest and most economical mining operation. The method of extracting a mineral is continuous.

    The mineral is represented by limestone, the bulk density of which is 2.5 t / m 3... Coefficient of hardness of rocks on the scale of M.M. Protodyakonov - VI, fracture category - III.

    By the difficulty of development, limestones belong to the VI-VII group of rocks according to SNiP - 5-82. The loosening factor is 1.5.

    The small thickness of the reservoir predetermined the choice technological scheme with the use of the most maneuverable mining and transport equipment of cyclic action: excavator - motor transport, both in overburden and in mining operations.

    Mineral development is carried out with direct loading with an E - 2503 excavator, with a bucket capacity of 2.5 m 3into KrAZ-256 dump trucks, after preliminary loosening of limestone by explosion.

    Due to the low thickness of the soil-vegetation layer (PRS), the latter is developed by the DZ-171.01-05 bulldozer and is assembled into shafts for further use in the restoration of disturbed lands.

    Overburden development is carried out with an E-2503 excavator with loading into KrAZ-256 dump trucks and transportation to an internal dump located in the mined-out area of ​​the open pit.

    2.3.1 Elements of the development system

    Limestone development is carried out by a mining bench with a height not exceeding the height of excavation of an excavator along the blasted massif (no more than 9.0 m), and the height of the mining bench in its entirety does not exceed 12.0 m.

    The width of the excavator run is 10.8 m.The slope angle of the mining working ledge is assumed to be 80 0, non-working - 75 0... The minimum length of the work front for one excavator is 130.0 m.

    The width of the working platform for the excavator is determined by calculation (Appendix No. 2, NTP, 77):

    A. For loose and soft rocks with a bench height up to 8 m:

    Sh R = A + P P + P O + P b + P O

    where: A - width of excavator entry E - 2503 (A = 1.5 R h. u.) , 10.8 m (Table 11.1);

    P P - width of the carriageway for KrAZ-256, 8.0 m (Table 11.2),

    P O - shoulder width from the upland side, 1.5 m (Table 11.2);

    P b - safety lane width, 1.1 m

    P b = H * (ctg φ - ctg a) = 12 * 0.0916 = 1.1 m.

    H - height of the underlying production ledge, 12 m;

    φ , a - the angles of the stable and working slopes of the underlying ledge, 75 0, 800

    P 0- the width of the shoulder from the lower side, taking into account the device of the tray and the fence, 4.5 m (Table 11.2);

    Sh R = 10.8 + 8.0 + 1.5 + 1.1 + 4.5 = 25.9 m we take 26 m.

    B. For rocks:

    Shr = B + Po + Pp + Po 1+ PB

    B - the width of the breakup of the blasted rock, m;

    B = A 1+ M = 11.1 + 20.76 = 31.86 m

    A 1= P b 1+ H (ctg α - ctg γ ) + in (n-1) = 3 + 12 (ctg 75 0-ctg 80 0) +3.5 (3-1) = 11.1 m

    A 1- drill run width, 11.1 m; M - incomplete camber width, 20.76 m; Po - shoulder width from the upland side, 1.5 m; Пп - width of the carriageway, 8.0 m; By 1- shoulder width from the lower side, 4.5 m; PB - width of the safety strip (collapse prism), 0.4 m at the height of the underlying production bench H = 4 m

    Fr = 31.86 + 1.5 + 8 + 4.5 + 0.4 = 46.26 m (we take 47 m)

    (Fr = 31.0 m - on the lower horizon)

    The minimum width of the working platform for the DZ-171.1-05 bulldozer will be equal to:

    Sh b = L + P b + P v + L cx = 4.12 + 4.0 + 2.0 + 4.88 = 15 m

    where: L - bulldozer length 4,12 m (passport);

    L cx - free stroke length 4.88 m;

    P b - safety lane width, 4.0 m

    P b = H * (ctg φ - ctg a) = 8 * (ctg 40 - ctg 55) = 4.0 m

    P v - safety shaft width, 2.0 m

    2.4 Technology and organization of mining operations

    The existing technology and structure of complex mechanization of the field development is adopted in accordance with the mining technical conditions of the given field.

    The scheme of transport communications was selected taking into account the terrain, in accordance with the mining technical conditions at the quarry. Exits to the quarry are accepted with the oncoming traffic of loaded and empty vehicles.

    2.4.1 Stripping work

    Overburden rocks at the deposit are represented by fine-grained clay sands with interlayers of clays, fine-grained sands and sandy clays, deluvial loams.

    The loam is covered with a soil-vegetation layer 0.2 m thick.

    The thickness of the overburden in the area being developed ranges from 2.5 to 8.0 m.

    In terms of its physical and mechanical properties, soft overburden belongs to the 2nd category of rocks according to the difficulty of excavation (ENV-79) and to the 1-2 group of rocks according to SNiP 1V-2-82.

    The PRS is raked by the DZ-171.1-05 bulldozer into the shaft in the southern part of the site along the reserve calculation border.

    Subsequently, the soil and vegetation layer will be used for reclamation work.

    Sandy-clay overburden is removed by an E-2503 excavator and loaded into a KrAZ-256 vehicle with its placement in an internal dump. The average shift volume of overburden mining and loading operations is 274 m 3in the whole.

    The total amount of stripping in 2008 will amount to 82.3 thousand. m 3, including PRS - 3.3 thousand m 3.

    The displaced overburden on the dumps is planned by the DZ-171.1-05 bulldozer.
