First Vice Minister of Energy Uzakbai Karabalin said that Kazakhstan would significantly increase gas production and, as a result, become self-sufficient.
Prosecutor of West Kazakhstan Oblast said there were several hydrogen sulphide emissions at the large Karachaganak oil and gas field before the mass poisoning of children from nearby Berezovka village occured.
KazMunaiGas, the national oil company of Kazakhstan, presented a new project of enhanced oil recovery at the Annual Caspian Technical Conference and Exhibition of the Society of Petroleum Engineers (SPE) in Astana.
According to him, Kazakhstan’s gas can only be supplied to third countries across Russia; and within the agreements currently in place, access to Russia’s gas transportation system can only be provided to meet energy needs of the Eurasian Economic Union member states.
KazMunaiGas Vice Chairman Tiyesov has spoken in the Mazhilis informing the deputies that Kazakhstan will face a decline in oil production should no new fields be discovered in the upcoming decade.
Russia agreed to resume gas deliveries to war-torn Ukraine through the winter in an EU-brokered, multi-billion dollar deal signed by the three parties in Brussels.
The Eurasian Economic Union, according to the former head of the KazMunaiGas Lyazzat Kiinov, will have a positive effect on the situation with petrol in Kazakhstan.
President of Kazakhstan said that traditional energy was not possible to replace with alternative sources, which is why Kazakhstan should not be afraid of that its economy is based on raw materials.
