The safety of people and protection of the environment are the top priorities for Tengizchevroil (TCO) in managing Well 37 and all other wells at Tengiz. TCO holds title to Well 37. Since TCO took over operatorship of the Tengiz field in 1993, it has been monitoring Well 37 to ensure that the well remains within design limits and in a safe condition. TCO has the operational knowledge to safely conduct any work on Well 37. The Government of Kazakhstan…monitors and reviews our work to ensure that the well is within design limits and in a safe condition. In 2012, TCO discussed the status of Well 37 with government and community members. We have committed the resources necessary to assure that Well 37 remains in safe condition and will continue to work with the government and its regulatory agencies to that end.
