The record production indicators of 18.8 million tons achieved at the Kashagan oil field in late 2023 confirm the enormous potential of the field, the parties noted.
The importance of Kashagan crude will only grow given the petrochemical production rise and low-carbon development in Kazakhstan.
As Askhat Khassenov pointed, KMG, as a shareholder, will support NCOC’s social projects aimed at improving the living conditions of the region's residents and developing infrastructure.
