Environmental protection is implied by Qassin Oil LTD’s environmental policy as a justifiable and sustainable development. Every project of Qassin Oil LTD is carried out in accordance with Georgian law, which mandates thorough investigation of each environmental component, identification of potential environmental effects of project development and operation, and planning of mitigation strategies.

The Company uses stepped steel constructions with a particular infill material to protect the coastline from landslides and prevent Caspian Sea contamination. These mattresses go by the name “Reno mattresses.” 8.6 kilometers of a protective dam are being strengthened. As part of the industrial environmental control program, the quality of sea water and seabed deposits are yearly monitored at seven control stations; the status of sea wells is evaluated weekly; samples are obtained quarterly; and certificates of inspection are given.

The Company invests heavily each year to lessen the negative effects that production variables have on the environment, spending roughly KZT 17.2 billion over the last three years. The Company uses both internal environmental laboratories and independent specialist organizations with appropriately equipped facilities and necessary permits/licenses to conduct annual environmental monitoring of the air, underground/surface water, soil, and radiation. Flood-prone and flooded wells are observed in order to assess the impact on the Caspian Sea environment. In order to eliminate sources of radioactive contamination, the Company gathers radioactive materials (such as tubing, scrap with various diameters, etc.) from field locations for storage at a temporary radioactive waste storage yard each year. The business has been investigating new technology and performing trial testing to disinfect tubes and equipment.
