“In recent years, gas production in the country has been
steadily growing. The production plan for 2024 is 60.5 billion

According to him, commercial gas production in the country by
the end of 2024 will amount to 29.8 billion cubic meters, which
corresponds to the level of 2023.
The Minister noted that in the first half of 2024, gas
production in Kazakhstan amounted to 30 billion cubic meters,
including 14.9 billion cubic meters of commercial gas.
In 2024, the production of liquefied petroleum gas is projected
at 1.6 million tons (at the level of 2023), of which 0.8 million
tons were received in January-June.
The Minister also said that in the period from 2026 to 2030, the
country will begin the phased commissioning of 4 gas processing
plants: based on the raw materials of the Kashagan field with a
capacity of 1 and 2.5 billion cubic meters per year, the
Karachaganak field with a capacity of 4 billion cubic meters per
year and the KazGPP plant in Zhanaozen with a capacity of 900
