The unification of science and production for the benefit of the development of oil production became the main topic of the facilitation session on the definition of technological tasks of Embamunaigas JSC, which was held today at the Atyrau University of Oil and Gas named after Safi Utebayev.
The event was organized by the joint efforts of the Center for Scientific and Technological Initiatives “Samgau”, Atyrau University Oil and Gas n.a. S. Utebayev, Embamunaigas JSC and the Ministry of Science and Higher Education of the Republic of Kazakhstan.
The need to integrate scientific achievements and innovations into production processes to ensure more efficient use of resources, increase productivity and sustainable development was noted by the honorary expert of the oil and gas industry Uzakbai Karabalin. Askar Munara, Deputy General Director for Geology and Development of Embamunaigas JSC, also emphasized the relevance of this topic for Emba fields:
- Embamunaigas JSC is developing 31 fields, most of which are at a late stage of development. Therefore, we urgently need innovative solutions that will help us cope with the technological challenges that the oil company has today.
During the discussion of the session, which was attended by representatives of leading universities, research institutes, technological and oilfield service companies, Embamunaigas proposed 15 technological purposes, including the development of deposits with high viscosity oil, low profitability of mature fields, low efficiency of repair and insulation works, purification and preparation of water for injection/ reservoir pressure maintenance and others.
During the discussion, foreign and domestic scientists proposed solutions that will be continued in the implementation of research and development (R&D) at the expense of subsoil users and state grant programs.
