Prime Minister Olzhas Bektenov in honour of the 125th anniversary of the beginning of Kazakhstan's oil production congratulated veterans and workers of the oil and gas complex, noted the importance of the industry in the economic structure of the country, primeminister.kz reports.

Addressing the participants of the meeting Prime Minister expressed gratitude for the selfless dedication and hard work of industry veterans, oilmen, engineers and scientists, through whose efforts Kazakhstan became one of the leading players in the world energy market.

For his contribution to the development of the oil and gas sector Prime Minister on behalf of the Head of State presented 40 awards to distinguished workers of the oil and gas complex. The Order ‘Parasat’ was awarded to labour veteran Makhash Rakhmetov, veteran oilman Oleg Gershtansky, industry expert Makhambet Dosmukhambetov, the Order "Kurmet" and veteran oilmen Turemurat Zharmagambetov, Rakhman Isayev, Madykhat Nurmukhanov, Nagangali Uteyev, pipeline operator Marat Taganbaev, Shakimurat Shamarov, Order ‘Yenbek Daneky’ of III degree was awarded to veteran oilman Keltir Shanenov, process compressor operator Akhmed Shadinov, "Yeren Yenbegi Ushin" Medal to veteran oilman Abdrakhman Kaziev, Kadirkhan Utesinov, repair mechanic Yesimbek Berdaliyev, oil and gas production operator Kosherbay Otsebayev and others.

Olzhas Bektenov noted that Kazakhstan has significant hydrocarbon reserves. Proven recoverable oil reserves are over 4 billion tonnes, which makes Kazakhstan one of the significant players in the world market. New oil export routes are being opened, including through the Caspian Sea. The volumes of oil and gas transit through our country are increasing. Kazakhstan's oil brand KEBCO has been launched, and work is underway to increase the resource base, improve the investment attractiveness of geological exploration, increase production, and implement new projects.

The Head of State in his Address to the people of Kazakhstan outlined the tasks of further development of the oil and gas chemical industry. Our achievements are not limited only to production and transportation. Great efforts are aimed at the development of internal processing of hydrocarbons. With the opening of a polypropylene plant in Atyrau region, a full-fledged oil and gas chemical industry has been created. New projects on polyethylene and butadiene production are ahead. Such enterprises not only promote import substitution, but also create the necessary environment for the development of small and medium-sized businesses. New generation gas processing plants will be built in the coming years. The oil and gas industry remains one of the drivers of the economy, and we are determined to develop it further, introducing innovative technologies and ensuring environmental safety," Olzhas Bektenov emphasised.


The development of domestic oil and gas chemistry and the implementation of projects to produce polyethylene, polyethylene terephthalate and urea will help meet domestic demand and increase exports of domestic technological products with high added value.
