Kazakhstan Oil Sector
Oil & Gas is the largest sector and driver of growth for almost all Central Asian economies. Kazakhstan has the Caspian region's largest recoverable crude oil reserves and in Kazakhstan, production is expected to double over the next decade to over 3 million barrels per day.
Kazakhstan has 3 oil refineries located in Pavlodar (northern region), Atyrau (western region) and Shymkent (the South) with an estimated total refining capacity currently standing at ~430,000 barrels of oil per day.
Output primarily comes from the country's three largest fields, Tengiz, Kashagan and Karachaganak. Many of the worlds majors are involved in the development of these fields. Chevron holds important stakes in Tengiz and Karachaganak and a number of National Oil Companies (primarily Chinese) also have significant stakes in all the large Kazakh onshore fields. The state owned KazMunaiGas is also an important stakeholder in most of the largest fields in the country. Other companies invested in the area include ENI, BG, Total, LUKoil, Shell, ExxonMobil, ConocoPhilips and Inpex.
There are three significant hydrocarbon basins: the pre Caspian, the Mangyshlak and the South Turgai basins. The potential of the region became obvious (particularly to the West) with the discovery of Tengiz in the 1970's but the lack of foreign investment and access to technology meant that the development of the sector really only began in earnest in the 1990's.
Whilst the highly technical nature of many of the fields in the pre Caspian has restricted development to the global oil majors, other oil producing areas represent significant opportunities for smaller E&P companies, such as Jupiter Energy Limited.
Block 31
Jupiter Energy Limited holds a 100% interest in an exploration permit (Block 31) located in the Mangistau Basin in South West Kazakhstan. The permit currently covers an area of 123 km2 and is located on trend with three existing producing oil fields that have potential resource in excess of 56 million barrels of oil (mmbbls). The prospective permit is located within the Zhetybai-Uzen step, adjacent to the Akkar North and North West Zhetybai oilfields. Government records indicate that there has already been production of approximately 6 billion barrels of oil within this region. The Block has had 3D seismic shot over the entire 65 km2 and the Company has completed its first two wells on the permit (J-50 and J-52). Both were commercial discoveries.
J-50 has completed its 3 month production testing phase and the Company is in the process of applying for a Trial Production licence for this well. J-52 is currently undergoing its 3 month production testing phase.
Regular updates on the progress being made with the J-52 well and plans for the 2011 and 2012 commitments will be released via ASX announcements that can be accessed through the Newsroom link.
Reasons for Success
JPR has a 5 well Commitment Program on Block 31. The 2009 well (J-50) and the 2010 well (J-52) have been completed and 3 further wells are planned for 2011 and 2012 to complete the 5 well program.
J-50 and J-52 were commercial discoveries and both wells have under gone or are in the process of a 3 month production testing program. A Trial Production Licence (TPL) application is currently being submitted for J-50 and a TPL for J-52 will be submitted in due course.
Prospectivity for Block 31
Jupiter’s Block 31 shown on Figure 1 is amongst the producing fields of the basin. The 3 wells drilled in the block have all discovered oil. NWZ 2 was drilled by the Soviets in 1969 and Jupiter has drilled J-50 and J-52 since taking ownership of the permit in 2008. The bulk of the reserves have been encountered in the Mid Triassic Carbonates with additional potential in the Z sand (likely Jurassic).

J-52 encountered the Z sandstone which flowed oil in NWZ#2 in an updip position. This 25m sand is oil saturated on logs and core but has not yet been flow tested. Full core analysis, paleo dating and a 3 month flow test will help quantify the value of this reservoir.
