Agenda – 20 April
2nd Digital Transformation Conference
The key challenge facing Kazakhstan is the low reproduction of reserves. To accelerate the development of geological science and provide raw materials to the manufacturing industry in Kazakhstan, the National Geological Service was created and the National Geological Strategy for 2023-2027 was adopted by the Government. To facilitate access to geological information, an interdepartmental information system “KAZNEDRA” is being created. To address the issues and improve exploration efficiency the Industry will implement advanced information and digital technologies.
- New models of industry management based on the seamless movement of machine-readable data from the stages of exploration to production and processing.
- Development of a single interdepartmental platform for subsoil use “Kaznedra”.
- Creation and digitalisation of mineral core storage facilities.
- Digital mapping of geological structures in Kazakhstan.
- Using artificial intelligence (AI) to enhance the prediction and analysis of mineral resources.
- Improvement of remote sensing and GIS-based mapping techniques.
- Using machine learning algorithms to predict geological formations.
