Upstream Oil and Gas Operations
Driving Industrial Growth, Advancing Progress, and Ensuring Global Energy Stability
Empowering Progress, Industry, and a Secure Energy Future
At ERGATIKOS STANISŁAW STYK REFINERY, our oil and natural gas operations are strategically situated to address the world’s changing energy demands. With a robust presence in Poland, Kazakhstan, and other key energy corridors, we are actively involved in the exploration, production, transportation, and commercialization of both conventional and transitional hydrocarbon resources.
Our integrated approach—from upstream exploration to downstream value creation—prioritizes technical excellence, environmental stewardship, and long-term energy resilience.
Upstream: Exploration & Production
Our upstream portfolio focuses on strategic investments in oil and natural gas reserves throughout Eastern Europe and Central Asia. By utilizing cutting-edge geological mapping, seismic imaging, and reservoir engineering, we pinpoint and develop fields that provide consistent production while minimizing environmental impact.
Our upstream expertise encompasses:
- Drilling and well completion technologies
- Hydrocarbon reservoir assessment
- Use of enhanced oil recovery (EOR) techniques
- Joint ventures with local exploration companies
- Onshore and shallow offshore operations
Midstream: Transportation & Storage
Reliable midstream operations form the cornerstone of ERGATIKOS STANISŁAW STYK REFINERY’s logistics network. We maintain a seamless energy supply through a fully integrated system of pipelines, terminals, tank farms, and transshipment facilities.
