On November 1, 2018, the ceremonial opening of PetroKazakhstan Kumkol Resources camp, set at Karabulak oilfield in the North-West part of Aryskum cavity of the South Torgai basin, was held.

A huge step to improve the working and living conditions of PKKR employees was the construction of a shift compound with 45 beds. Workers will live in comfortable conditions. There are double and triple rooms and a lounge zone for watching news and TV programs. The living block is equipped with appliances, shower rooms and bathrooms. This complex will become a long-term second home for many workers.

The administrative block consists of a dining room with modern kitchen equipment, a medical center with an isolator, a laundry room and a hall where shift workers can spend their leisure time playing billiards and tennis.

Mr. Bolat Kusherbayev, Capital Construction and External Affaires Vice-President, congratulated all the ceremony participants with the new camp opening.

“Today in the personnel and social policy of the Company one of the priority is the creation of favorable working environment and the improvement of social and living conditions. – said Bolat Kusherbayev in his speech.
