First SPE Symposium held in Nur Sultan

24.09.2019

On September 24, an SPE Symposium (SPE is Society of Petroleum Engineers) dedicated to health, safety, environment and social responsibility in the Caspian region was held in Nur-Sultan. The symposium, which is held as part of Kazakhstan Energy Week 2019, was hosted by NC “KazMunayGas” (hereinafter - KMG).

The event was opened by Johana Dunlop, SPE Technical Director; Magzum Mirzagaliev, Minister of Ecology, Geology and Natural Resources; Alik Aidarbayev, KMG CEO; Richard Howe NCOC N.V. Managing Director; Bolat Akchulakov, Kazenergy General Director; Olav Skar, Safety Director of the International Association of Oil and Gas Producers.

More than 300 representatives of oil and gas companies in the Caspian region as well as regional and world occupational safety experts attended the symposium. The key topics of discussion were issues of rational use of natural resources, social and environmental responsibility. The attendees shared their experience in introducing innovations in the field of occupational safety.

It should be noted that KMG did not accidentally become the organizer of the event, as the company is currently focused on proactive actions that help prevent injuries, accidents and negative environmental impacts. Only since the beginning of 2019 occupational injuries have been reduced by a quarter. However, the company continues to improve and is constantly looking for new ways to achieve zero injuries.

“KazMunayGas” strives to meet high standards of occupational safety; we are doing everything to ensure that this culture grows stronger and stronger. And these efforts are already yielding results - over the past five years we have made progress in the field of health and safety. We will steadily continue to work to achieve our goal of 100% safety”, Alik Aidarbayev noted.
