Oil and Gas Exploration
At ТОО “BM PETROLEUM PRODUCT” REFINERY, leverages its expertise in exploration to minimize risks and shorten lead times in developing new fields. With strategic proximity to export markets and in-house transportation infrastructure, we reduce transportation costs and enhance operational efficiency within targeted exploration regions. Oil and gas exploration involves advanced methods and processes to identify potential drilling and extraction sites. While early explorers relied on surface signs like natural oil seeps, today’s exploration is driven by sophisticated geological surveys and technology—ranging from subsoil testing for onshore exploration to seismic imaging techniques for offshore sites.
Our Gas Processing Plants achieved remarkable output in 2020, processing 411 and 406 million cubic meters of gas, respectively. This included the production of 395 million cubic meters of dry stripped gas, 756,000 tonnes of light hydrocarbon fractions, 188,000 tonnes of ethane, and 42,000 tonnes of sulfur.
Exploration Activities
ТОО “BM PETROLEUM PRODUCT” REFINERY, registered in the Republic of Kazakhstan on February 16, 2021, is focused on the development and operation of petroleum refining and gas processing activities within the region. The company’s facilities are designed to process natural gas and associated hydrocarbons, producing dry stripped gas, light hydrocarbon fractions, ethane, and sulfur in accordance with industry standards and regulatory requirements. Operational performance and production volumes are reported in line with the company’s commissioning timeline and ongoing capacity development.
Proximity to Export Markets
With extensive operational expertise, we minimize risks and accelerate project timelines for new field developments. Our proximity to export markets and dedicated transportation infrastructure significantly reduces costs, enhancing operational efficiency in targeted exploration regions. During the design phase, we employ finite-difference modeling of wave fields to optimize seismic survey parameters, ensuring precise and cost-effective exploration.
Advancements in Science & Technology
Modern oil and gas exploration leverages advanced scientific and technological methods to identify potential drilling and extraction sites. While early explorers relied on natural oil seeps as indicators, today’s techniques include detailed geological surveys, onshore subsoil testing, and offshore seismic imaging, greatly increasing exploration efficiency and accuracy.
International Exploration
Priority in Production and Exporting
ТОО “BM PETROLEUM PRODUCT” REFINERY prioritizes the efficient processing of crude oil and petroleum products with a strategic focus on export-oriented markets. The company is developing its export capabilities to serve customers across selected regions of Asia, the Middle East, and Europe, in compliance with Kazakhstan’s regulatory framework and international trade standards.
Geographic diversification remains a core strategic objective, enabling the company to strengthen its market presence and reduce dependency on single-region demand. Production planning and export volumes are aligned with the refinery’s operational capacity, phased development strategy, and long-term growth objectives. BM Petroleum Product is committed to enhancing production efficiency, ensuring product quality, and expanding international partnerships as operations mature.
Production and Development
Production and development activities at TOO BM PETROLEUM PRODUCT Refinery are guided by a phased growth strategy aligned with the company’s establishment in the Republic of Kazakhstan on February 16, 2021. The company focuses on the efficient processing of crude oil and condensate supplied through contractual arrangements, while supporting upstream development initiatives through collaboration with licensed operators and service providers.
Development planning emphasizes the application of modern drilling, production optimization, and reservoir management technologies to enhance recovery efficiency and operational reliability. Where applicable, horizontal drilling techniques, advanced completion methods, and infill development concepts are evaluated to support sustainable production growth over time.
Downstream Operations
ТОО “BM PETROLEUM PRODUCT” REFINERY manages a balanced commodity flow that includes production, refining, purchases, and sales of oil and gas products. Our downstream operations engage in the refining and chemical processing of crude oil into usable products like gasoline, fuel oils, and various petrochemicals, primarily for transportation fuel. We refine these products at our own and third-party facilities, ensuring a steady supply to meet market demand. This segment also involves transporting and marketing refined products, aligning our supply chain from production to end-user distribution.
