PGNiG busy looking for black gold in Kazakhstan

According to Puls Biznesu, the purpose of the visit was to secure an over USD 10 million contract for the search of oil and gas in Kazakhstan. The contract was signed by Poszukiwania Ropy i Gazu (PNiG), a PGNiG subsidiary with the Kazakh company KEN-Sary LLP. According to the deal, Polish Oil and Gas may perform around a dozen of test bores in the Aktau area. "If PGNiG receives a license for deposits in Kazakhstan it will be able to exploit them, " stated PNiG spokesperson Agnieszka Siola. It is unofficially known that the company is interested in obtaining such licenses, but its representatives refuse to comment on the matter. "We are interested in access to deposits, but I cannot reveal in which part of the world. Our partners are not interested in disclosing any details," stated PGNiG's spokesperson Tomasz Fill.
