A deep exploration well at the Karaton Podsolevaya field in western Kazakhstan's Atyrau region has yielded its first gas flow during testing, confirming earlier geological forecasts. Four additional wells are scheduled for testing soon.
The Atyrau region of Kazakhstan may soon become significantly larger. It may include lands up to the Caspian Sea. This will be decided after a nationwide discussion, which will last until July 15.
Due to floods in Kazakhstan, more than 600 oil wells stopped working. Oil production losses amounted to 16 thousand tons. 141 wells have resumed their work.
Tomorrow, rainfall is expected on the most of Kazakhstan. Fire danger remains high in 6 regions of the country
