Dunga field

Dunga oil and gas field is located in the Tupkaragan District of the Mangystau Region. The geological reserves of the field are estimated at 106 million tonnes of oil and over 6 billion cubic meters of gas. The field was discovered in 1966.

 

Dunga project is being implemented under the Production Sharing Agreement (PSA) dated May 1, 1994, between Oman Oil Company Limited and the Government of the Republic of Kazakhstan. The term of the Dunga PSA is 30 years.

On July 4, 2019, an Amendment Agreement to the Dunga PSA was signed, extending the PSA term until 2039.

Currently, the project participants are Dunga Operating GmbH (60%), Oman Oil Company Limited (20%), and PTTEP (Kazakhstan) Corporation (20%), collectively referred to as the Contractor. The project operator is Dunga Operating GmbH.

Local content

The Kazakh side contributes to ensuring the maximum level of local content by increasing the share of local goods, works and services in accordance with the provisions of the PSA and the requirements of the legislation of the Republic of Kazakhstan. In order to implement the terms of the PSA and support Kazakhstani producers, the Contractor developed and approved the Program for the development of local content in goods, works and services for 2018-2020.

Development phases

The Dunga project is currently in Phase III.

 

Phase III involves the commissioning of previously drilled, plugged and abandoned production wells from Phase II. 

 

The scope of work on the Dunga – Phase III project includes the following: 

  • Connection 61 drilled wells to production lines; 
  • Increasing the oil and gas processing capacity; 
  • Increasing seawater treatment capacity; 
  • Enhancing the efficiency of existing facilities; 
  • Ensuring the necessary compression capacity of the gas processing system; 
  • Increasing in capacity of the oil export system; 
  • Expanding engineering support and auxiliary systems; 
  • Converting 45 wells into the water injection fund; 
  • Implementation of facility modification projects (ensuring production safety and reliability).

 

In 2023, the field produced 546.9 thousand tons of oil and 40.8 million cubic meters of gas.
