According to the Minister, the prices in the oil sales contracts will be set based on the international oil prices in oil/barrel and will be the same at the Kazakhstan-Chinese border. “The Chinese partners will be making sure that these prices are attractive for Kazakhstan dispatchers for the whole period of this agreement,” the Minister said. The plan is to increase the pipeline’s capacity in Atassu-Alashankow section to 20 million tons per year in 2013, he said. According to Karabalin, the general plan is to create 400 permanent jobs and up to 2 thousand jobs for the first two years of construction. “Exploitation and maintenance of all the parts of the Kazakhstan-China pipeline are currently being performed and will be performed by KazTransOil,” the Minister stated. Earlier Director General of KazTransOil Kairgeldy Kabyldin assured that there would be as few foreign workers at the Kazakhstan-China oil pipeline as possible. By Altynau Zhumzhumina
