Transportation

The field is situated close to the city of Uralsk in West Kazakhstan and is only 60 km from the border with the Russian Federation. Due to this favourable location, the company benefits from multiple transportation and export options for its crude oil - via rail or pipeline and is also close to existing gas export pipelines from Orenburg to Western Europe.

Since the beginning of 2009, Zhaikmunai operates its own crude oil pipeline and a rail loading facility, which makes transportation of its production less costly, safer and more efficient.
