[In 2026, Harbin will launch the 12th round of oil and gas block auctions] On June 16, 2026, Kazakhstan began the twelfth round of oil and gas block sales, using a dual track model of auction and bilateral cooperation to attract foreign investment. Thirty oil and gas blocks have been launched this time, with estimated reserves exceeding 9 billion barrels of oil equivalent and a total area of 53000 square kilometers, covering six major provinces in China. The online auction is scheduled for July 29th and the deadline for enterprise applications is June 30th. The production capacity of the three major oil fields in the local area is concentrated in a single structure, and there is an urgent need to increase oil and gas reserves. Several international energy companies, including BP, Sinopec, and PetroChina, are interested in participating. Companies can bid separately for blocks or conduct joint exploration to help the country improve its medium - and long-term oil and gas supply layout.Editor/Li Xiaohua
