KazTransGaz has prolonged the contract to supply 70 million cubic meters of gas to Kyrgyzstan, Deputy Director General of Kyrgyzgas, Yevgeny Orlenko said.
Nursultan Nazarbayev offered foreign oil and gas companies to develop Kazakhstan’s alternative economy in repayment for rights to develop natural resources.
In the heating season of 2011-2012 Almaty and Zhambyk oblasts in the South of Kazakhstan experienced gas shortages due to disrupted gas supplies from Uzbekistan.
