The repair operation continues at the point of the gas leak near Bolashak,the land-based oil and gas plant in the Aturausky region of Kazakhstan.
“Oil production at Kashagan has been suspended. All the producing facilities of the offshore and onshore complexes stand by. It is too early to speak about the date of resumption,” is said in the press-release of the operator of the project North Caspian Operating Company (NCOC).
