en.Wedoany.com Reported - Nalabayev recently conducted an aerial inspection of the Kashagan oil field and received a progress report on the construction of a natural gas processing plant with an annual capacity of 1 billion cubic meters. The overall completion rate of the project has reached 60.78%, with construction and installation works 37.50% complete, and the supply of major equipment has reached 98%. Over 1,500 construction workers and 350 pieces of various engineering machinery are deployed at the site, and night shifts have been organized to ensure progress.
At the Tengiz oil field, Nalabayev listened to a report on the production and operations of Tengizchevroil. With the official commissioning of the third-generation production line, the field's average daily crude oil output has reached 1 million barrels. In 2025, the company sold approximately 1.3 million tons of liquefied gas and nearly 2.5 million tons of sulfur.
Subsequently, Nalabayev visited the plant of Kazakhstan Petrochemical Industries LLP to learn about the company's production operations and future development plans. As one of the largest industrial projects in the country, the polypropylene output of this complex has been steadily increasing: 32,000 tons in 2022, rising to 181,100 tons in 2023, reaching 248,700 tons in 2024, and increasing to 375,000 tons in 2025. According to the plan, output will be further increased to 450,000 tons in 2026. During the symposium, various parties proposed multiple measures and suggestions focusing on improving the reliability of production processes, diversifying product types, and promoting the further development of the oil and gas chemical industry.
Nalabayev also inspected the construction site of the Sileno polyethylene production plant with an annual capacity of 1.25 million tons. This project is a key initiative under the framework of building a national oil and gas chemical industry cluster. Mukhtar Avutbayev, General Director of Sileno LLP, introduced the implementation progress, current status of construction and installation, and the work plan for the next phase. Once completed and put into operation, the project will effectively replace imports of high-demand polymer products in the domestic market, increase exports of high value-added products, and create more jobs.
At the conclusion of the inspection, Nalabayev emphasized that implementing major projects in the oil, gas, and petrochemical sectors holds significant strategic importance for promoting economic diversification, enhancing industrial development potential, and strengthening Kazakhstan's competitiveness in the global market.
