The Eskene legend – A caravan of ages and lives. Only a widow grass left lonely in the steppe, Behind those who left in pursuit of happiness... (Zhaksybay Sarmat) The history of discovery and development of Eskene field is intertwined with the Caspian region and the oil capital, Atyrau Oblast. On the eve of the 100th anniversary of the Makat district, yesterday the district library hosted an official presentation of the book named "Eskene el esinde" by Abdrakhman Kaziyev, veteran of Kazakhstan’s oil industry, which was published in three languages with the sponsor support of NCOC. The book tells the story of Eskene, whose name is inscribed in golden letters in the chronicles of Kazakhstan's oil sector. Today, both the village and the field have been abandoned and closed, but as their successor, the Bolashak Onshore Processing Facility is built here. Many respected citizens of the country, distinguished workers, were born on this land. The book dedicated to preserving the past of Eskene in people’s memories is about these historic figures and their legacy. The book is intended for a wide audience. The books are available for readers in the library of Makat District house of culture. ---------- Аңызын айта қалсам Ескененің, Құлаған ғасырлардан көш көремін. Боз жусан бозарып бір қалып қойған, Соңында бақыт іздеп көшкен елдің...  (Жақсыбай Сармат) Ескене кен орнының, оның ашылуы мен игерілу тарихы Каспий өңірімен, мұнайлы астана - Атырау облысымен тығыз байланысты. Осы орайда кеше Мақат аудандық кітапханасында ауданның 100 жылдық мерейтойы қарсаңында Қазақстан мұнай өндірісі саласының ардагері Қазиев Әбдірахман Хайроллаұлының NCOC компаниясының демеушілігімен 3 тілде басып шығарылған «Ескене ел есінде» кітабының ресми түрде тұсау кесері өткізілді.      Бұл кітапта Қазақстан мұнай кәсіпшілігінің жылнамасына аты алтын әріптермен жазылатын мекен - Ескене тарихы баяндалады. Бүгінгі таңда поселке де, кен орны да таратылып, жабылғанмен, осы мекенде оның ізбасары тәріздес боп «Болашақ» мұнай және газ дайындау қондырғысы салынған. Бұл топырақтан көптеген ел азаматтары, ел аузындағы ерен еңбеккер тұлғалар шыққан. Ескененің өткенін ел жадында сақтауды көздейтін әңгімеміз осы тұлғалар, олардың қалдырған мұрасы туралы.   Кітап жалпы жұртшылыққа арналады. Кітапты Мақат аудандық кітапханасында оқуға болады.  

This week, representatives of Atyrau Region Department of Ecology, the public, local executive bodies, non-governmental organizations, and the media visited the greening facilities implemented by NCOC in the Sokolok canal area.   In the Sokolok canal area, NCOC planted 107 thousand seedlings on 107 hectares of land. Unfortunately, due to flood in 2024, 27 hectares of seedlings went under water. Despite the difficulties, greening works are being continued. The seedlings consist of heat and salt resistant zoned species of elm, ash, mulberry, apricot, yellow acacia and oleaster. Each new tree planted within this initiative is a step towards improving the environment and creating a more comfortable urban environment for residents of the region and is part of the roadmap for a comprehensive solution to environmental problems in the Atyrau Region.   The tree planting project started back in 2021. For these purposes, specialists of the contractor company applied modern agricultural technology, which allows for more efficient ground preparation. An important aspect in this regard was the introduction of a modern irrigation system: watering 107 thousand trees in a couple of days is not an easy task. Thanks to high quality fertilizers that are used in the care of seedlings, and highly qualified skills of the specialists, impressive results were achieved. More than 70 percent of the equipment involved in the process is automated, which significantly increases the efficiency at every stage of the greening work.  According to the Memorandum signed in the fall of 2021 between Atyrau Region Akimat, Atyrau Region Department of Ecology andAtyrau Region Department of Sanitary and Epidemiological Control, 4 land plots located on the Atyrau City borders and in the Makat District with a total area of 308 hectares, were identified for greening.   In addition to the area in the Sokolok area, 73 thousand trees were planted in the forest shelterbelts of the Bereke village, 21 thousand trees in Yerkinkala, and 20 thousand trees in the village of Dossor in the Makat District.   It is worth noting that this year, the Company is starting similar greening works on a total area of 110 hectares in the Tupkaragan District of Mangistau Region within the Memorandum signed in October 2023 between the Akimat of Tupkaragan District and the Department of Sanitary and Epidemiological Control of Mangystau Region.      #Greening #Atyrau #Kashagan #NCOC #Mangystau #Aktau

The beginning of a new academic year is an exciting time for children and a busy time for teachers making final adjustments to their teaching plans. For us, it is time to recap some of NCOC initiatives that have assisted educational institutions in preparations for the new 2024 academic year as part of our annual Sponsorship and Donations programme: 🔬 a unique microfluidics research laboratory presented to Safi Utebayev Atyrau University of Oil and Gas. The laboratory will study fluid flows in the microscopic pore spaces of oil and gas reservoirs. As part of this project, the company purchased a pressure and flow control unit, a microfluidic Coriolis flow sensor and other laboratory equipment for the university. It should be noted that the company had already helped the university to set up a computer lab and purchased laboratory training equipment for studies in chemical processing of natural gas. 🚌 a school bus purchased for S. Sharipov School in Dossor village, Makat District. The comfortable Toyota Coaster bus is equipped with seat belts to protect little passengers and will be used to transport schoolchildren from remote settlements, such as Eskene and Taskesken railway stations and Railway Junction No. 441. 📖 inclusive education classrooms set up in 3 schools of Mangystau Oblast (School No. 20 named after M. Auezov, School No. 5 named after N. Ondassynov, School No. 16 named after S. Mukashev). These inclusive education classrooms boast all necessary state-of-the-art tools and equipment. Such classrooms help children with special needs adapt to the social environment and get extra assistance in accordance with their needs, thus ensuring equal access to education. It is worth noting that inclusive education classrooms are in demand in the regions, and the company has already handed over about 20 inclusive education classrooms to a number of schools in Atyrau and Mangystau Oblasts.

Social entrepreneurship is a new and very noble pursuit, the purpose of which is to employ physically challenged people and to create the most favourable conditions for them in their environment. We are happy to contribute to development of the social entrepreneurship through our sponsorship and donation projects.   Our next support in this regard was the purchase of a sewing equipment for the Riza Ana Public Foundation, which has been operating in the Mangystau Oblast for eight years. Handover of the equipment took place on September 2 in Aktau and was attended by Yerlan Mukay, NCOC Deputy Managing Director and Zvira Yesbergenova, Deputy Akim of Mangystau Oblast.   Welcoming the participants of the event, Yerlan Mukay noted: "As a socially responsible company, we care about sustainable development of the region where NCOC operates. We look forward to our future projects aimed at further improving the region and lives of its residents."   Currently, a total of 20 people, including people with limited abilities and unemployed people from low-income families are working at the Riza Ana sewing workshop. #entrepreneurship #sponsorship #donation #NCOC #socialproject #Aktau #Atyrau #Kashagan

NCOC has handed over a new school, built as part of its Social and Infrastructure Projects, to the residents of Beki village in Mangystau Oblast. Children of Beki village in Mangystau Oblast are starting their new school year in a new school built by NCOC. This is the first general education school in this village. The two-storey school for 100 schoolchildren is fully furnished, equipped and ready to open its doors on the first school day. The school has everything necessary for children’s learning and development. Apart from the general-purpose classrooms, the school offers to young lovers of natural sciences special classrooms for studying physics, chemistry and biology, as well as laboratories for extracurricular studies. Moreover, there is an auditorium for music and singing lessons to foster children’s musical and vocal talents. What makes the school stand out is its ceramics workshop which allows children to engage in a craft inherited from ancestors and, perhaps, it is here that future eminent craftsmen will be nurtured. In addition, the school has a culinary classroom where children will learn to cook simple yet delicious dishes and decorate them beautifully before welcoming their guests. And what about physical exercises, sports and recreation? A football pitch, a running track, a combined basketball and volleyball court, playgrounds for outdoor games and even a gymnastics court — the new school has it all. #NCOC #Kashagan #oilandgas #Kazakhstan #Atyrau #Aktau #caspiansea
