15 May 2020, KazMunayGaz (KMG) has discovered a new pool in the Nurzhanov field in the Precaspian Basin. Well NSV 11 has tested 165 cu m/d (1,074 b/d) through 9 mm choke from Triassic deposits at depth between 3,252-3,265 m. The oil's density is 0.863 g/cm cu (37.8 deg. API), gas/oil ratio is 105 cu m/cu m (572 scf/b). The well is continuing to test.  The Nurzhanov (Prorva Central/East) field was discovered in 1960. It has 14 Triassic, Jurassic and Cretaceous reservoirs in two blocks, at depths ranging from 1,850 m to 3,216 m. The field's initial oil reserves were 360 MMb.   KMG has recently been exploring the area around the field and discovered the Nurzhanov Northeast oil field in 2016. The latter has one Triassic reservoir at 3,258 m.
