Russian LUKoil and Kazakhstan’s Kazmunaigaz signed a binding agreement on the basic principles for the large Kalamkas-Sea project in the Kazakh sector of the Caspian Sea.
President and co-owner of LUKoil Vagit Alekperov told TASS about this.
“We have signed a binding agreement on the basic principles for the Kalamkas-Sea,” he said.

LUKoil participates in several large projects in Kazakhstan. Thus, the company owns 13.5% in the Karachaganak project, one of the largest oil and gas condensate fields in the world, and 5% in the Tengiz project. LUKoil also owns 12.5% of the Caspian Pipeline Consortium, the only private trunk pipeline in Russia and Kazakhstan.
