Kazakhstan is actively seeking international investment and deploying innovative technologies to reduce methane emissions in line with its commitment to the Global Methane Pledge.
Kazakhstan will unveil its program to curb methane emissions during the UN climate conference in Baku in November, Kazakh officials have revealed. The announcement is the latest in a series of actions to keep the country’s greenhouse gas reduction efforts on track after Astana joined the Global Methane Pledge at the end of 2023. This voluntary agreement encourages signatories to collectively reduce global methane pollution by at least 30 percent below 2020 levels by 2030.
The proposed drilling depth was set at 4,265 feet, with a margin of 820 feet. Construction work could begin as early as September. The wells are expected to start production between 2025 and 2034. The private oil company did not respond to a request for comment on what adjustments have been made to safety measures to prevent methane leaks like the one that occurred in 2023. Another oil and gas producer, state-owned KazMunayGas, has been more transparent with its “methane management” strategy.
