BAKU, Azerbaijan, June 22. KazMunayGas (KMG)
and Kazakhstan Temir Zholy (KTZ) have established end-to-end
digital control over petroleum product logistics in Kazakhstan,
according to KMG.
At the end of 2025, the Dispatch and Analytical Center (DAC) of
KMG integrated its systems with data from the Main Computing Center
branch of KTZ covering the domestic movement and import of
petroleum products.
“This has enabled hourly tracking of petroleum product movements
and volumes across Kazakhstan, including imported rail shipments,
throughout the entire transportation route. A visual monitoring
system has been implemented for each rail tank car: the platform
displays the car’s location from the moment of loading, as well as
dates and statuses at every stage of transportation, including
arrival, departure, loading, unloading, and other operations,” the
company said.
KMG noted that an automated monitoring system for tank car idle
times has also been introduced. The system records delays at
railway stations, allowing for the prompt identification of
bottlenecks and problematic sections within the logistics
chain.
In addition, the platform generates an analytical ranking of
Kazakhstan’s regions based on their level of petroleum product
supply.
The project is implemented as part of the Year of Digitalization
and Artificial Intelligence initiative, which was declared for
2026.
As part of Kazakhstan’s ongoing digital transformation efforts,
the country continues to expand digital infrastructure and
services.
According to the Ministry of Artificial Intelligence and Digital
Development, high-speed internet access was extended to 2,600 rural
settlements across Kazakhstan by the end of 2025. In 2026, the
government plans to connect an additional 1,900 villages.
Kazakhstan is also strengthening its data infrastructure. In
2025, two new data centers (DCs) with a combined capacity of 7.4 MW
were commissioned in Almaty and Astana. In 2026, three more data
centers with a total capacity of 12.9 MW are scheduled to be
launched, further reinforcing the country’s digital ecosystem.
Digital services continue to show strong growth in demand. In
2025, more than 54 million public services were delivered through
the eGov Mobile application. Meanwhile, Kazakhstan’s IT services
exports reached approximately $1 billion by the end of the
year.
