ASTANA, Kazakhstan, February 29. Oil production at the Kashagan field for the share of KazMunayGas (KMG) amounted to 3.1 million tons (68,000 barrels per day) in 2023, Trend reports.

percent since 2022.
At the same time, gas production at the field surged by 123.8
percent, totaling 1.96 billion cubic meters.
KMG believes that the increase in production was primarily due to
an increase in KMG's share in the project from 8.44 percent to
16.88 percent as a result of the completion of the transaction for
the repurchase of a 50 percent stake in KMG Kashagan BV from
Samruk-Kazyna in September 2022, as well as the shutdown of
production in the summer of 2022 and capital and restoration work
repairs of marine and land complexes.
