Ak-Bura Project
The large Ak-Bura licence covers prospective beds from Silurian to Palaeogene in age. The prospective reservoir beds identified include Permian, Middle Jurassic and Palaeogene which contain the pay zones within oil fields of the Fergana Basin and Silurian and Carboniferous beds.
These beds also contain pay zones of oil fields within the Tarim Basin, located 200 km to the south-east in China.
While the large Ak-Bura project is only partially mapped, a number of prospective structures have been identified.
Through recent seismic we have identified several large thrust-related structures in the Ak-Bura licence. Naukat covers an area up to 20km2, see seismic section above.
The target Paleogene and Cretaceous beds consisting of thick, porous sandstone, conglomerate and limestone beds are situated at 1,500m to 2,500m from surface.
