Environmental Activity

All measures taken by Bocan Energyin the field of environmental control at the Eastern section of the Kazakhstan oil and gas condensate field are combined into the SHIELD program. A large-scale investment project worth 2.3 billion Tengen will be completed by 2023. It will provide comprehensive control over the state of atmospheric air and environmental protection at the OOGCF VU.

The air condition in the settlements closest to the OOGCF VU is monitored by 10 stationary posts and 3 mobile ecological laboratories. Each of the stations in the round-the-clock mode measures the content of nitrogen oxide and dioxide, carbon monoxide, hydrogen sulfide, sulfur dioxide and the amount of hydrocarbons in the air. Also, monitoring posts record meteorological parameters – humidity, pressure, temperature, wind speed and direction. All these data are automatically and online transmitted to a single service for monitoring the gas-air environment of the enterprise. And then – into the Unified Environmental Monitoring System of the region.

Residents of Kazakhstan can quickly and online learn about the environmental situation in the area of the enterprise’s operations in the Eastern section of the Aktau oil and gas condensate field (VU OOGKF). Bocan Energy signed an agreement with the Ministry of Natural Resources, Environment and Property Relations of the Aktau on information interaction within the framework of the Unified Environmental Monitoring System (ESEM). The company uses modern environmentally friendly technologies and materials, takes measures aimed at improving the rational use of associated petroleum gas, land reclamation. All this makes it possible to create one of the most advanced environmental control systems in Kazakhstan.
