In a filing with Bursa Malaysia, Sumatec said Markmore Energy, through it wholly-owned subsidiary, Markmore Central Asia B.V, holds the entire participatory in CaspiOilGas LLP (COG), which in turn the concession owner and operator of the Rakushechnoye oil and gas field in Kazakhstan.

Under a joint investment agreement entered between Sumatec, Markmore Energy and COG in 2012, Sumatec had been appointed to carry out all operations relating to oil production from Rakushechnoye, entitling the group the entire profits for the first two million barrels of production and thereafter 50%.
