ASTANA, Kazakhstan, December 15. The volume of
oil and gas chemical production in Kazakhstan grew by 12% in 2025,
the country's Energy Minister Yerlan Akkenzhenov said at a press
conference on the Government’s performance in the deep processing
and oil and gas chemistry sector for 2025, Trend reports via the press
service of the Kazakh government.
According to Akkenzhenov, Kazakhstan has been consistently
exporting deep-processing products, including polypropylene,
benzene, and paraxylene, to external markets.
He further emphasized that the oil and gas chemical sector is
pursuing a strategic approach focused on diversification, to reduce
the economy’s reliance on raw materials. The domestic oil and gas
chemistry sector has shown impressive double-digit growth,
positioning itself as a key driver of non-resource exports.
Akkenzhenov also pointed out that the strategic development of
the industry is closely tied to a period of extensive industrial
construction. Significant projects are currently underway to
establish world-class petrochemical complexes. In the Atyrau
region, over 30% of the construction work on the pyrolysis unit for
the upcoming polyethylene plant has been completed. Additionally,
in the Pavlodar region, the establishment of an alkylate production
facility has commenced.
