/KASE, July 24, 2023/ – Zhaikmunai LLP (Oral), whose bonds are officially listed on Kazakhstan Stock Exchange (KASE), has provided KASE with the following press release dated July 24, 2023: quote Zhaikmunai LLP, a subsidiary of Nostrum Oil & Gas PLC ("Nostrum" or "the Company" and together with its subsidiaries "the Group"), an independent oil and gas company engaging in the production, development and exploration of oil and gas in the pre-Caspian Basin, today announces successful start-up of the new compressor doubling Nostrum's Gas lift capacity, which helps slowing down production decline from maturing Chinarevkoye field. As the demand for gas lift has been growing due to the majority of the producing wells requiring it to sustain production, in early 2022 Nostrum funded the addition of further compression to raise the capacity of the system from 500 to 900 thousand m3/ day for circa US$8 million. Notwithstanding the significant delays in delivery of the new compressor due to the sanctions on Russia, the Company managed to successfully complete and commence the project in line with budget and without any major HSE incidents. The initial production gains exceed management’s expectations and further updates on production guidance will be provided as part of Q3 2023 operational update. unquote The complete press release is available on: - https://kase.kz/files/emitters/ZHMN/zhmn_relizs_240723.pdf – in Russian; - https://kase.kz/files/emitters/ZHMN/zhmn_reliz_240723_en.pdf – in English.
