As a result of the drilling and testing works of the well Zholtay 1 in January 2018, oil influx was received from the producing horizon M-II-1 aryskum deposits.

The deposit Zholtay was founded.

In April 2018, 6kV HV line from 6kV-SG  110/6kV PS "Aksai" LLP "JV"Kazgermunai" to LLP “LLC Kyzylorda Refinery” Taur field power block were put into operation. 6 kV HR line length is 15,34 km.

Currently, LLP “LLC Kyzylorda Refinery” is operating on four fields Taur, Khairkeldy, South Khaikeldy, and North Khaikeldy; the field South-West Khairkeldy is on a trial operation; the fields Zholtay and North-West Khairkeldy are at the stage of estimation works.
