BAKU, Azerbaijan, July 1. Kazakhstan's National
Company QazaqGaz JSC and Chevron Corporation have discussed
strategic cooperation frameworks, the company's press service
says.
The issue was reviewed during a working meeting in Astana
between Alibek Zhamauov, Chairman of the Management Board of
QazaqGaz, and Clay Neff, President of Chevron International
Exploration and Production (Upstream).
According to the company, the cooperation is aimed at advancing
Kazakhstan's domestic gas industry and energy market
infrastructure.
"During the talks, Chevron leadership presented update reports
on the implementation of the corporation's current upstream energy
assets in Kazakhstan, highlighting their critical operational
importance for strengthening the state's broader energy landscape,"
the statement of QazaqGaz says.
The meeting focused closely on accelerating joint investment
frameworks to secure long-term domestic gas production volumes.

structural shifts in the global market. Both sides exchanged expert
evaluations on contemporary energy security, green transition
challenges, geological exploration, and technology-driven
efficiency upgrades.
Kazakhstan’s National Company QazaqGaz JSC and
Chevron Corporation share a long-standing strategic partnership
rooted in Chevron’s decades-long presence in the country’s energy
sector. Chevron has been a major investor in Kazakhstan since the
early 1990s, most notably as a key partner in the Tengizchevroil
joint venture, which develops the giant Tengiz oil field.
