Kazakhstan plans to develop new promising hydrocarbon fields under a plan
through 2035. By the end of this year, construction of a gas processing plant
at the Kashagan field with a capacity of 1 billion cubic meters is expected to
be completed. To strengthen the gas resource base at the Karachaganak field, a
sixth gas reinjection compressor will be commissioned. According to the
Ministry of Energy, this will help maintain oil production at 10-11 million
tonnes per year. In addition, in line with presidential directives, the
construction of a new oil refinery with a capacity of 10 million tonnes is
planned, along with the expansion of refining capacities in Pavlodar, Shymkent,
and Atyrau. Overall, the country aims to produce around 15.5 million tonnes of
petroleum products in 2026.
