Works are carried out under License No. 183-GIN dated 21.12.2022, with the aim of studying the prospectivity of Jurassic and Paleozoic deposits. The area of the licensed block is 3,184.51 km2.
Administratively, the Bolashak area is located within Mangystau Region of the Republic of Kazakhstan.
The nearest settlement is the district center of Beineu, located 55 km away. The regional center, Aktau, is located 220 km to the southwest of the area.
