Kazakhstan may face gas shortage by 2024

ASTANA. KAZINFORM "Kazakhstan may face gas shortage by 2024," Kazakh Oil and Gas Minister Uzakbai Karabalin said today in Astana.

According to him, gas re-injection volume growth fuels its scarcity. About 90% of gas produced in Kazakhstan is associated gas. Considerable increase in re-injection volumes up to 30% and notable increase in feed gas home consumption against the current rates may lead to gas shortage in Kazakhstan by 2024," he added.
