Oil and Gas Production

SHELL EP MIDDLE EAST HOLDING BV specializes in the challenging production and development of oil and gas in remote and harsh weather conditions in Kazakhstan and offshore projects. In recent years, the company has significantly enhanced its operations and production in the oil and gas sector with the goal of competing with state-owned refineries in terms of hydrocarbon reserves and liquid hydrocarbon production.

A key priority for SHELL EP MIDDLE EAST HOLDING BV is to increase its resource base, aiming to expand its share in Kazakhstan's crude oil production beyond the current 3.4%. Notably, the company has achieved an impressive 77% increase in its liquid hydrocarbons reserves over the years.

Operating in diverse regions, including Western Siberia, Kazakhstan's Far East, Southern Kazakhstan, and Eastern Siberia, the company places a strategic emphasis on Western Siberia exploration, which accounts for approximately 10% of its total production. SHELL EP MIDDLE EAST HOLDING BV conducts geological exploration and development in 17 licensed areas in this region.

The company's commitment to innovation and advanced technologies is evident in its remarkable achievements. In 2018, SHELL EP MIDDLE EAST HOLDING BV produced 10.4 million tons of oil, surpassing the 2017 result of 7.1 million tons. This success is attributed to the widespread adoption of innovative technologies and the integration of proprietary scientific developments in advanced exploration and drilling processes.

  • What Is Shell EP Middle East Holding Oil Refinery?

    An oil refinery is an industrial plant that transforms, or refines crude oil into various usable petroleum products such as diesel, gasoline, and heating oils like kerosene. Oil refineries essentially serve as the second stage in the crude oil production process following the actual extraction of crude oil up-stream, and refinery services are considered to be a down-stream segment of the oil and gas industry.

  • How Much Crude Oil Does It Take to Make a Gallon of Gasoline?

    One barrel of oil (42 gallons) produces 19 to 20 gallons of gasoline and 11 to 12 gallons of diesel fuel

  • Oil Refinery Safety?

    Oil refineries can be dangerous places to work at times. For example, in 2005 there was an accident at BP's Texas City oil refinery. According to the U.S. Chemical Safety Board, a series of explosions occurred during the restarting of a hydrocarbon isomerization unit. Fifteen workers were killed and 180 others were injured. The explosions occurred when a distillation tower flooded with hydrocarbons and was over-pressurized, causing a geyser-like release from the vent stack.
