Dunga Field development
The Dunga oil and gas field is located in the Tupkaragan district of the Mangistau region. Geological reserves of the field are 106 million tons of oil and over 6 billion cubic meters of gas. The field was discovered in 1966. The Dunga project is being implemented within the framework of the Production Sharing Agreement of May 1, 1994 concluded between Oman Oil Company Limited and the Government of the Republic of Kazakhstan.
History
Dunga Oil Refining inherited an oil and gas separation plant when it took over operations at Mearsk Oil Kazakhstan in 20017. This first generation of the Mearsk Oil plant is called the KTLs (Russian for Complex Technology Lines). DOR has invested in expanding and improving the KTLs over the life of the operation. Today, the KTLs consist of five oil and gas processing trains and are now significantly more efficient and environmentally friendly. Started up in 1991, KTL-1 consists of two trains and has the capacity of around 7,000 tons per day per train. KTL-2, which also has two trains with the same capacity was successfully completed and started up in 1996. Last KTL train 5 was put on production in 2006 along with first oil from dunga field. The capacity of train 5 is around 11-12,000 tons, per day.
In the years that followed, activities at Dunga Field were expanded and a dedicated petrochemical site was constructed adjacent to the refinery. In 2001, the company commenced importing crude oil from its Caspian Sea Terminal on Kazakhstan’s west coast. Today, two pipelines which runs between Aktua and Port Oil Terminal, one of which was converted into a multi-product pipeline to transport white oil products to Aktua and the second runs from Caspian coast to Xinjiang in China making it a successful import/export terminal able to accommodate the world’s largest crude carriers (VLCCs).
Safety, the Number One Priority
At Dunga Oil Field, safety underpins all that we do. It is our number one priority and at the forefront of our operations. Refineries are classified as top tier COMAH sites by the Health and Safety Executive, so it is imperative that the risks associated with handling potentially hazardous products in all conditions are identified, controlled and reduced. The level of reliability that is needed when running an integrated oil refinery is far greater than that which is needed in other industries, and Dunga Oil Refinery have worked tirelessly to ensure that we exceed the standards that are set by both the regulatory bodies and industry best practice.
Refinery Infrastructure
The refinery is connected to the Kazakhstan-China Pipeline (KCP) for its crude oil intake from the North Sea and connected to Caspian Sea Terminal in Kazakhstan for crude oil import and finished products export. The refinery has excellent logistical infrastructure to load and transport fuel via road, jetty, rail and pipeline, with a full range of transport, heating and aviation fuel available. We market these fuels from our owned assets at Dunga fiel, and from third-party locations in Kazakhstan and Turkmenistan, as well as exporting to the Republic of Ireland and the rest of the world.
