TASHKENT, Uzbekistan, February 25.
Uzbekneftegaz and KazMunayGas have reviewed progress on their joint
linear alkylbenzene (LAB) production project and agreed to finalize
key feasibility and technical-economic parameters, Trend reports via the Uzbek
company.
The matter was discussed during a meeting between a delegation
of Uzbekneftegaz led by Chairman Abdugani Sindigov and senior
representatives of KazMunayGas.
The sides reaffirmed their commitment to the successful launch
of the project and agreed to accelerate preparatory and design work
in the coming period.
According to Uzbekneftegaz, the LAB production initiative is of
strategic importance for both countries. Linear alkylbenzene serves
as a core raw material in the manufacture of synthetic detergents
and household chemical products.
Implementation of the project is expected to meet rising
regional demand, enhance localization within the petrochemical
industry, and expand the export capacity of Uzbekistan and
Kazakhstan.
In November 2025, during the state visit of Kazakh President
Kassym-Jomart Tokayev to Uzbekistan, a framework agreement on the
joint implementation of the “Construction of a Petrochemical
Complex for the Production of Linear Alkylbenzene (LAB)” project
was signed between KazMunayGas and Uzbekneftegaz.
