The Kazakh Energy Ministry
announced data on fuel reserves aimed at addressing the aftermath of the
country’s floods. The volumes of fuel and lubricants meet one and a half months’
worth of needs and are uninterruptedly replenished by the Atyrau and Pavlodar
refineries. Priority in fuel allocation is given to units of the Ministry of
Defense, the National Guard, the Ministry of Emergency Situations, as well as regional
and city administrations involved in eliminating the emergency situation. For
this purpose, over a hundred fuel tankers were deployed to 20 regions of the
country. If necessary, their number will be increased, according to the
relevant department. Regional fuel reserves have been stockpiled, comprising
gasoline grades AI-80, 92, 95 totaling around 3,500 tons, alongside over 7,000
tons of diesel fuel, as well as aviation fuel and fuel oil. Large subsoil user
companies participate in flood control efforts, contributing over 500 units of
specialized equipment, with their personnel involved in addressing the flood
aftermath.
