What KazPetroDrilling JSC does

KazPetroDrilling JSC is a major independent oilfield services holding company headquartered in Almaty, Kazakhstan, providing land drilling, workover, and well services across Western Kazakhstan. The group's service portfolio spans the full well lifecycle: well construction (vertical, directional, and horizontal drilling with MWD/LWD telemetry, mud engineering, cementation, and well testing), well stimulation (hydraulic fracturing including multi-stage and selective frac jobs and acid treatment), well workover (capital repair up to 5,000 m depth, repair-and-insulation, accident elimination, zone transitions, and well abandonment), and oilfield equipment manufacturing and repair. The holding operates through wholly-owned subsidiaries including KMG-Drilling LLP, Burgylau LLP, KazTechMunayServis LLP, MunayFieldServis LLP, Kaskor-Mashzavod JSC, ZhigerMunayServis LLP, MunayKolik LLP, and Trubremcentre LLP, with a fleet of 31 drilling rigs and 51 lifting units and annual capacity for up to 400 wells and 350-550 thousand meters of drilling. Through Burgylau LLP and KMG-Drilling LLP, the group holds 16.1% of Kazakhstan's drilling market (2019 KazService data), and the customer base is concentrated on major oil and gas companies in Kazakhstan, notably AO EmbaMunayGaz and the wider KazMunayGas ecosystem.

The company sells services through project-based contracts with oil and gas exploration and production operators, with revenue generated from drilling day rates, workover projects, stimulation operations, and equipment sales. Go-to-market is direct enterprise field sales to E&P customers, with no disclosed public pricing. The group holds API certification, ISO 9001/14001/45001, and ASME certifications, with IADC membership and an in-progress ISO 29001:2020 audit, and it uses Baker Hughes and Kazakh-British Technical University technology for a corporate Drilling Technology Training Centre established in Atyrau in 2020. Technology is sourced primarily from third-party OEMs (APS-Technology for MWD/LWD, Halliburton and NOV for cementing units, Baker Hughes for training), with in-house manufacturing at Kaskor-Mashzavod JSC and ZhigerMunayServis LLP covering rigs, wellhead heaters (including the patented model UN), tanks, and steel structures. The company is a Kazakhstan Joint Stock Company (JSC) with origins in the Soviet-era oil industry structure (subsidiary KTMS traces back to 1953), reorganized multiple times before the current holding configuration.
