Eni and KazMunayGas agree to jointly explore the Isatay offshore block
Milan (Italy), June 27, 2015 - The Chairman of KazMunayGas (KMG) Management Board, Sauat Mynbayev, and Enis CEO, Claudio Descalzi, finalized today, in the presence of the President of the Republic of Kazakhstan, Nursultan Nazarbayev, and the Italian Prime Minister, Matteo Renzi, an agreement that defines the commercial terms of the transfer to Eni of 50% of the subsoil use rights in the Isatay block located in the Caspian Sea.
The Isatay block is estimated to have significant potential
oil resources and will be operated by a joint operating company
established by KMG and Eni on a 50/50 basis.
The joint operating company will benefit from Enis
proprietary technology, industry leading track record in
exploration and extensive experience in the environmentally and
technically challenging conditions of the Caspian Sea shelf.
The agreement signals the successful completion by KMG of the requisite procedures under Kazakh laws to acquire subsoil use rights in the Isatay block and the finalization of related commercial agreements, which will result in the transfer to Eni of 50% of the subsoil use rights and regulate the performance of the joint operations. The transfer is expected to be completed within a few months subject to the approval of the transaction by the Republic of Kazakhstan.
The terms of Enis participation in the Isatay block were signed last year in June as part of a strategic agreement between Eni and KMG which also involves the joint development of a shipyard project in Kuryk, located on the Caspian Sea coast of the Mangystau region.
This agreement further strengthens Enis presence in the Republic of Kazakhstan, where it co-operates the Karachaganak field and is equity partner in several fields in the north Caspian Sea, including the giant Kashagan field.
