Condition of exploration
works on oil and gas
Now the problem of supply with
hydrocarbons is the most actual, determining
efficiency of economic development of the
country.
Oil-and-gas fields are
basically located in Fergana oil and gas zone
where now the oil production makes 80 thd. ton
and gas 35 thsd. ton.
The general area oil and gas
perspective lands of the Kirghiz Republic makes
- 22.3 thsd. km2. More than 5 thsd.
km2 belong to well investigated
Fergana Basin, the others 17 thsd. km2
- the scantily investigated perspective
territories of intermountain basins: Alai, Naryn,
At-Bashi, Ak-Sai, Toktogul, Issyk-Kyl, East -
Chui, Talas.
Now petrosearch exploration
works are carrying out by the following
companies: Joint-stock company "Kyrgyzneftegaz",
State Geologic exploration Agansy,
Joint-ventures and the Investment companies: "Kadima
Petrolium", "KNG-Hydrocarbones", "Zhibek-Hydrocarbones",
"Textonic", "Target-one", and others.
The Kyrgyz Republic is the
importer of the miniral oil and oil products,
spending on these purposes annually 100-120
million. To decrease the dependence from
external deliveries there is the problem now to
reduce the oil import due to internal oil
production.
Predicated hydrocarbon
resources on Republic are within the range of
375-765 mln. ton.
On the Fergana Basin the
hydrocarbon resources are explored and mastered
at 51%. On January, 1, 2001 the JSC
"Kyrgyzneftegaz" has on balance 15 wells of oil
and gas with reserves of oil 89.5 million ton
(including 11.4 mln. ton of mineable reserves)
and gas - 4.9 bln. cubic meters. On January 1,
2001 it is extracted from those resources about
10.4 mlln. ton of oil and 7 bln. m3
of gas.
Condition of reservoir
engineering
Joint-stock company
"Kyrgyzneftegaz" develops 7 oil-fileds, 5 of
them are located in Djalal-Abad and 2 in Batken
areas, with mineable reserves on January, 1,
2001 - 11481.0 thsd. ton. Basically, there are
the following explored fields of hydrocarbons:
"Mali-Suu IV-East Izbaskent" - 8660.0 thsd. ton,
including 5396.0 thsd. ton on III layer, 885.0
thsd. ton on V-VII layers. The oil-field
"Beshkent-Togap" has 725 thsd. ton of oil.
Resources were explored in
50th, and last of them (Beshkent-Togap) in
1974-1976, and now they are in late stage of
development. In this connection the volumes of
oil-recovery annually decrease because of
natural decrease of resources. So, if in 1990
each of 442 wells extracted daily 1.0 ton of
oil, then from 2001 the average daily extraction
was 0.6 tons for 320 working wells. Dynamics of
decrease in total production of oil is obvious.
