A Breakthrough at the Reef: Strategic Shift Ignites New Chapter in Gas Exploration
– KNDK9 Well Achieves High-Yield Industrial Gas Flow

On June 10, 2025, exciting news emerged from the KNDK prospect area of the Sozak Gas Field—Well KNDK9 has successfully tested a high-yield industrial gas flow of 149,000 cubic meters per day from the reef reservoir, marking a historic breakthrough in the exploration of reef complexes in the KNDK region. Like a blazing torch, this success has instantly reignited hope across what was once a quiet and elusive gas zone.

A Sleeping Treasure Awakened

Once thought of as a geologic enigma, the reef bodies hidden deep in the Chu–Sarysu Basin—relics of ancient seas—have long tested the resolve of explorers. Despite years of effort, their gas potential remained shrouded in uncertainty. Confronted with complex subsurface conditions and exploration difficulties, the Sozak Project team made a pivotal decision: a strategic shift toward reef targets.

Geo-Jade's exploration research team integrated advanced geological modeling, reef identification, and fine-scale reservoir characterization to pinpoint a priority drilling location. The Sozak operating team meticulously organized drilling and testing operations, ensuring strict quality control. The geology and engineering teams worked in lockstep—like wielding a precision “geological scalpel”—and finally, deep within the earth, successfully unlocked this long-sealed “reef gas vault.”

A Milestone of Profound Significance

• A   Leap from Zero: KNDK9 is the first high-productivity gas well in the   reef complex of the KNDK area, decisively ending doubts over the viability   of reef reservoirs in this zone. It replaces uncertainty with undeniable   results—proving the existence of substantial resource potential.
• Confirmation   of a Hidden Treasure: Like a beacon, KNDK9 confirms the reef bodies in   KNDK possess excellent reservoir conditions and rich gas-bearing   potential. The long-slumbering “gas dragon” has finally been awakened.

• A   Blueprint for the Future: This success injects fresh momentum into   reef exploration efforts not only across the Sozak region, but also in   surrounding basins. It points the way toward high-efficiency exploration   and future large-scale development. A new energy chapter is rapidly   unfolding.
  

  
  

Flames rising from the wellhead symbolize the most powerful release of subterranean energy; the roaring gas flow is the triumphant anthem of explorers. The spectacular success of Well KNDK9 is not just a triumph for clean energy—it represents the unwavering commitment and collective intelligence of the Sozak Project team. It marks a milestone breakthrough in the exploration of complex reef-type natural gas reservoirs.

At this moment, the passion is palpable—like a rallying call echoing in our ears. Riding the momentum of this first great victory, the Sozak Project Company is now pressing forward with renewed spirit and refined execution—expanding its reach into broader reef bodies with the goal of discovering more fields and delivering more clean energy.

This is only the beginning. The Sozak Project Company is committed to continuing its pursuit of excellence, and to writing even more brilliant and inspiring chapters in the future of energy exploration.
