Kazakhstan has long dreamed of creating its own gas and petrochemicals. 10 years ago, the country’s authorities set the task of building an integrated gas-chemical complex in the west of the republic.
By the decision of the management of the Samruk-Kazyna Fund in June 2018, this project was transferred to the trust management of the national company KazMunayGas, after which work on the implementation of the project intensified.
By the end of 2019, the progress of the project will be 53%. For comparison – before the advent of new management, the volume of work was at the level of 6%.
