Mangistaumunaigas OJSC has produced more than 110 th. tons of oil over the plan within January-July

/Kazakhstan today, August 21, 02/ - Mangistaumunaigas OJSC has produced more than 110 th. tons of oil over the plan within seven months, informed the company's press service to a correspondent of KZ-today. According to the company's data, as a whole 2m and 647 th. tons of oil have been produced within January-July of 2002 against 2m and 534 th. tons within similar period of last year. Including the fact that oil production in July equaled to 404 th. tons against 384.4 th. tons within the same period of last year. In July 16.5 th. tons were produced above the plan. Average daily oil production in July has risen up to 13 th. ton that is more by 250 tons than in last year. At this, as it was informed in the company, more than 14 th. tons of oil remained unrealized. The major reason, as Mangistaumunaigas believes, is the lack of necessary capacities on the levels of raw oil refining, warehousing and sending to consumers. The company takes all possible measures in order to solve the problem. In the nearest future a new park of oil reserves at Kalamkas field for collecting of production with capacity of 40 th. tons will be prepared for setting in exploitation. At the moment 125 producing wells have been stopped for a while for conducting of the planned preventive measures. The oil producing company mines and produces oil at Kalamkas and Zhetibai fields.
