KMG Engineering

Service companyAstana +2

Research and design institute of the KazMunayGas group, with its head office in Astana and two branches — KazNIPImunaygas in Aktau and the Atyrau branch; the sole participant of the LLP is NC KazMunayGas JSC. The legal entity was created on 12 March 2014 as the KazMunayGas Research Institute of Production and Drilling Technologies LLP — according to the company, on the basis of the Kazakh Institute of Oil and Gas JSC (KING) and its subsidiary institutes — and was renamed KMG Engineering on 4 May 2019; KING itself did not become part of the institute and has been a separate private company since 2015. In May 2018 the subsidiary institutes became branches: KazNIPImunaygas (which traces its history to the KazNIPIneft institute, 1970) prepares project documents for the Mangystau assets — Ozenmunaigas, Mangistaumunaigaz, Karazhanbasmunai and the KazGPZ gas processing plant — and the Atyrau branch (the former NII Caspiymunaygas LLP) for Embamunaigas and assets in Aktobe, Kyzylorda and West Kazakhstan regions; the head office, according to the company, handles management, monitoring of exploration projects, conceptual design and design review. The branches prepare exploration work projects, reserves estimates, field development projects, technical designs for well construction, working designs of field facilities and environmental documentation; according to the company, they also run laboratory centres (core, PVT, oilfield chemistry, drilling fluids). The institute works almost exclusively for KMG group companies and their joint ventures; the private NIPI Kaspiymunaigaz JSC in Atyrau is a separate organisation and not part of the institute.
