Charvak Project

The existence of oil in shallow sandstone and conglomerate reservoirs at Charvak has been established by exploration drilling. Although the flow rates are low (<10bopd), wells are inexpensive and economic at high oil prices. 

Deeper prospects have been identified by a seismic survey. 

The Charvak licence surrounds three small excised oil and gas fields:

•            Changyrtash - (9 sq km excision) recoverable 13.0 million barrels (MMbbl) of oil, production to date 11.8MMbbl of oil;
•            Chigirchik - (4 sq km excision) recoverable <1 MMbbl oil, 2.0 billion cubic feet (Bcf) of gas; and
•           Suzak - (3 sq km excision) 15 Bcf gas.
