He was invited as a panellist for the third Kazakhstan Geology Forum, which took place in Astana (capital of Kazakhstan) on March 2015 and subsequently following the session was interviewed by the Kazakh national TV. The presentation was on how to transform Kazakhstan's outdated hydrocarbon resources auditing and reporting system into something more acceptable by western institutions and banks, i.e. to something akin to Petroleum Resources Management System (PRMS) 2007. The proposal has since been accepted and adopted by the Kazakhstan government and the legislation should be in place by late 2017.
Al recently finished a six-field oil and gas reserve audit for a Korean oil company, in which he was assisted by the geology and geophysics company Petroleum Geosciences (Kz). He has since submitted - on behalf of a group of Kazakh technical institutes - a technical pre-qualification bid to EBRD (European Bank of Research and Development) who is financing a project to re-write the sub-surface legislation for the government of Kazakhstan, taking into account the new rules for PRMS 2007. The proposal is to have Al as the Team Leader, and the project, if accepted, would take around 18 months to complete.
