Kazakhstan: Refine and Expand

Kazakhstan holds an estimated 30 billion barrels of oil reserves, along with 1.1 tcm (38.8 tcf) of natural gas. It is among the top 15 countries based on the size of its oil reserves. The majority of Kazakhstan’s hydrocarbons reserves are located in the regions of Kashagan, Tengiz and Karachaganak.

To reach its potential as a global energy player, Kazakhstan is working to maintain a fine balance between the economic interests of its two powerful neighbours, Russia and China. Chinese energy demand continues to surge upwards and will consume Kazakhstan’s robust hydrocarbons output for the foreseeable future.
