Report 2023

Background
Established in 2015, the KDR Well Engineering Forum quickly emerged as the premier congregation of drilling and production specialists in Kazakhstan and the surrounding regions. The forum has experienced exponential growth and popularity, culminating in its return to Astana in 2022 after a two-year hiatus due to the global pandemic. This year the organising committee took the event on the road for the first time, to the Mangystau region - noted as one of the most important oil producing regions in the country.

Organisers & Partnerships
The forum is organised by Mobius Energy Intelligence Ltd in alliance with the National Company KazMunayGas and KMG Engineering, Zhigermunaiservice and KazPetroDrilling setting unprecedented standards in delegate quality. We would like to extend our gratitude
to event partners and sponsors including our Platinum Sponsor TechnipFMC, Gold Sponsors Tengizchevroil, Halliburton, PetroCad, SLB, Interwell, SD:UK and many others, whose unwavering support has been pivotal to the continual success of the KDR project.
