The sky's the limit for Big Sky Energy (formerly China Energy Ventures Corp.). The company has turned from Internet ventures in China toward oil and gas exploration and production, primarily in Kazakhstan. Its primary operating subsidiary, Big Sky Energy Kazakhstan, owns KoZhaN, which has three petroleum licenses in the Atyrau region of Kazakhstan. KoZhaN began drilling its 11th well in the Morskoe field on the northeast shore of the Caspian Sea in 2005. In 2007 the company received the Kazakh Ministry of Energy and Mineral Resource's approval to export and sell its crude oil at world prices.
