Being the National Oil and Gas Company, we are trying to resolve the issue of oil supplies to the Pavlodar-based oil refinery from Kazakhstan’s oilfields: Bolat Akchulakov.

According to the country’s Minister of Oil and Gas, Russia’s petrol is being supplied to Kazakhstan in accordance with the schedule [to overcome fuel shortages].
The decision to purchase 50 000 tons of petrol had been taken by the Kazakhstan’s Government in September against the backdrop of substantial fuel shortages.
According to him, hydrocarbons are depleting, and renewable sources are unlikely to provide electric power sufficient to feed the growing global economy.
