Tengizchevroil Starts WPMP Ops at Tengiz Oil Field


   
   OAKHURST, N.J. (DTN) --- Chevron Corporation today announced that its 50% 
owned affiliate Tengizchevroil LLP has safely commenced operations at its 
Wellhead Pressure Management Project at the Tengiz oil field in Kazakhstan.

   TCO said it achieved this milestone by converting its first metering station 
at Tengiz to low pressure and activating the associated pressure boost 
facility. This marks important progress for TCO's overall expansion project at 
Tengiz.

   The WPMP is designed to maintain the existing processing plants' full 
capacity, approximately 28 million tonnes per annum, by lowering the flowing 
pressure at the wellheads and then boosting the pressure to the existing plants.

   The startup of additional PBF compressors and the conversion of the 
remaining metering stations in the oil gathering system at Tengiz, from high 
pressure to low pressure, is scheduled for completion throughout the remainder 
of the year.

   The final phase of TCO's expansion project, FGP, is on track to conclude in 
the first half of 2025. This will enable TCO to expand Tengiz crude oil 
production by an incremental 12 million tons per annum, or 260,000 bpd.
