The annual International Exhibition of the Northern Caspian Region “Global Oil&Gas Atyrau 2018” will open its doors and welcome all participants and visitors for the 17th time.

This is the largest exhibition event of Atyrau oblast, which will traditionally take place in spring on April 10th-12th. The Exhibition of Global Oil&Gas Atyrau is truly considered to be a reputable platform to hold negotiations on the establishment of various partnership projects - from the production of oil and gas and to the manufacture of equipment and development of the sectoral infrastructure.

Atyrau is one of 18 cities included into the World Energy Cities Partnership (WECP). By now, over 75 deposits have been discovered at the territory of Atyrau oblast, and their industrial reserves amount to 930 million tons. At present, the oilfields of Tengiz and Kashagan have the key importance. For the period from January through September 2017, Tengizchevroil has boosted its oil production, arriving at 171 million barrels, which exceeds the same indicator of 2016 by 5.4 %. According to the Ministry of National Economy of the Republic of Kazakhstan, the sector of oil production has returned to its dominating position due to the launch of the Kashagan oilfield in 2016, marking a positive change in the national economy. Further production growth is forecasted also for 2018. According to the Minister of Energy, Kanat Bozumbayev, the respective action program for 2018 is currently being developed in stages and will be aimed at the goal of 370 000 barrels per day. The Operator of the North Caspian Project, which includes also the offshore field Kashagan, is North Caspian Operating Company (NCOC).
