Regulatory News:
Total (Paris:FP) (LSE:TTA) (NYSE:TOT) and its partners have
approved the launch of Phase 3 development of the onshore Dunga
field in the Mangystau Region of western Kazakhstan.
Phase 3 of the Total-operated field will consist of adding wells
to the existing infrastructure and upgrading the processing plant
to increase its capacity by 10% to 20,000 barrels of oil per day by
2022. This will add production of more than 70 million barrels of
reserves.
The development has been made possible thanks to the approval by
the Government of the Republic of Kazakhstan of a 15-year extension
of the Production Sharing Agreement (PSA) for the field, originally
signed in 1994 and due to expire in 2024.
The project requires a $300 million investment and will create
400 more direct jobs in the region at the peak of construction
activity.
“This low-investment-cost-per-barrel development maximizes the
field’s potential and extends plateau production,” said Arnaud
Breuillac, President, Exploration & Production at Total. “This
new development phase, combined with the Dunga field license
extension, helps unlock 70 million barrels of additional reserves,
which represents a significant development for Kazakhstan.”
The Dunga oil field is operated by Total (60%), alongside Oman
Oil Company (20%) and Partex (20%).
