“The KDR is a forum for us all to get together and discuss industry challenges, learn and share knowledge. It was a big success!”
Antonio Rosada, D&C Engineering Manager, Tengizchevroil
“The KDR is a forum for Operators and leading regional and international drilling contractors to collaborate with engineers from service and technology companies. Discussions focus on well construction, well completion and workover, and the implementation of new technologies, knowledge and experience sharing during the well construction phase in Kazakhstan”
Jeffrey Karfunkle, Deputy General Director, Scientific Research Institute for Production & Drilling Technology (SRI PDT), JSC NC KazMunayGas. KDR 2017 General Event Partner and Platinum Sponsor
“Up until now, there has not been a forum in Kazakhstan for operators and drilling contractors to partake in open dialogue. The KDR fulfilled this role, and during the event we had many useful and interesting discussions. For this reason, we will be participating again at the 2nd KDR next year and will be recommending it to all of our partners, colleagues, sub-contractors and suppliers”
Rakhmet Khairullayev, Former President, KazPetro Drilling. KDR 2017 Platinum Sponsor
“The KDR is a very good medium for oil companies and service companies to meet face to face and discuss current challenges, and how to solve them. We met with NC KMG and many other oil companies and are looking forward to following up on our discussions”
Zhang Jun, General Director, Sino Kazakhstan Greatwall Drilling. KDR 2017 Gold Sponsor
“The feedback from the 1st KDR has been very positive. The 2nd KDR in 2016 will be larger, more extensive and be more focussed on the challenges faced in the Kazakh drilling sector. Before next year’s event, we invite people to suggest topic areas, so that we can keep dialogue open on the complex issues that require attention and technology solutions”.
Murat Abdigaliyev, Former Director of Drilling and Well Services, JSC NC KazMunayGas. KDR 2017 General Event Partner and Platinum Sponsor
“The 2015 KDR was a very well organized event, and I commend the KDR organizers, presentation members, and venue for their efforts. I also commend the sponsors for their active support of the event. The attendee participation from Kazakh companies was very impressive for a first time event, with open and active discussions both formally and informally throughout the day. I sincerely hope that the KDR will become an annual event, and a possibility for industry professionals to assemble, discuss mutual issues, and initiate beneficial and efficient operational and technical improvements within regional drilling operations”
