The Kyzyloi Field (Kazakh: Қызылой газ кен орны, Qyzyloı gaz ken orny) is a dry natural gas field in southern Kazakhstan about 65km (40miles) to the north of the border with the Karalkalpak region of Uzbekistan and 55km (34miles) to the north-west of the Aral Sea. It is a first gas field in Kazakhstan, which is operated by independent operator.
Kyzyloi Field, which covers 287km2, was discovered in 1966. It contains sweet natural gas (97% methane) in shallow sandstones of Paleogene age at a depth of approximately 600m (2,000feet). The net proved and probable economically recoverable reserves are approximately 1.42 billion cubic meter.[1]
A commercial gas production commenced on 19 December 2007. The initial production capacity is . All produced gas is sold to the gas trading company GazImpex and assigned to Kazakhstan's Petrochemical Company Kemikal LLP.[2]
Gas is exported from the Kyzyloi field along a 56km2 pipeline to Tethys' compressor station adjacent to the tie-in point to the major Bukhara-Urals export trunkline system where three gas fired compressors compress the gas into the trunkline. Compressors pump gas into the line at a pressure of up to .[2]
The field is developed and operated by BN Munai LLP, a subsidiary of Tethys Petroleum Investments Limited.[2]
