According to preliminary data, Makmal field will have been put up for competition by November 1, the Deputy Chairman of the State Committee for Industry, Energy and Subsoil Use of Kyrgyzstan Suyuntbek Alikeyev announced.
According to him, about 200-300 million soms are needed for additional exploration of the two sections of the field. Kyrgyzaltyn JSC has no such funds. Therefore, it was decided to put up the field for a tender to create a joint venture with an investor.
