Bishkek, Nov. 13, 2026 /Kabar/. "Kyrgyzneftegaz" OJSC has identified a new source in the Mailuu-Suu-4 area capable of yielding approximately 40,000 cubic meters of gas per day.

According to the company, the gas extracted from well No. 1181 provides an additional capacity to supply Kochkor-Ata city and its surrounding villages with natural gas.

Samsaaly Chetimbaev, Chairman of the Board of "Kyrgyzneftegaz" OJSC, stated that the new well is producing around 40,000 cubic meters of gas daily.

"As of November 10–11, the daily gas consumption of Kochkor-Ata was 40,000 cubic meters. Our new well is yielding a similar volume. Therefore, this serves as an additional source of gas," he said. According to him, integrating new gas sources with those already discovered will make it possible to provide a more extensive gas supply to Kochkor-Ata during the winter season.

He further added that increasing the volume of gas would also create the conditions to supply natural gas to the villages surrounding the city.
