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.
It would be more reasonable to take Kazakhstan-produced oil out of the country, get it processed and brought in back: Kazakhstan’s Oil and gas Minister Sauat Mynbayev.
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.
