At Qazaqstan Marine Fuels Refinery, we remain committed to aligning our operations with these industry trends, ensuring our clients receive top-tier products and services.

🛢️ Crude Oil Production Surpasses Expectations

Kazakhstan's crude oil production has seen a notable increase, with output reaching approximately 1.53 million barrels per day (bpd) in January 2025 . This surge is attributed to the commencement of operations at the new Third Generation Plant (3GP) at the Tengiz oilfield, part of the Future Growth Project . This expansion positions Kazakhstan to exceed its original oil output plans for 2025 of 96.2 million tons .

🏭 Refining Output Sees Significant Growth

Kazakhstan's major oil refineries have increased their output to 6.092 million tons in January-April 2025, marking a 10.8% year-over-year rise . This growth reflects the nation's commitment to enhancing its refining capabilities and meeting both domestic and international demand.

🌐 Foreign Trade Turnover Declines

In January 2025, Kazakhstan's foreign trade turnover amounted to $9.14 billion, a 10.3% decrease compared to January 2024 . Exports totaled $5.11 billion, down 13.6%, while imports were $4.04 billion, a 5.8% decline. The primary export commodities included crude oil and crude oil products obtained from bituminous minerals, accounting for 53.5% of total exports.

🔄 Oil Transit Through Azerbaijan Increases

Kazakhstan's oil transit through Azerbaijan has reached 3 million tons, emphasizing the importance of this transport corridor for the nation's energy sector . In January 2025, SOCAR Midstream Operations LLC entered into an agreement with KMG Trading, a subsidiary of KazMunayGas, to transit 240,000 tons of oil from the Kashagan deposit through Azerbaijan.

🌱 Environmental Initiatives Gain Momentum

Kazakhstan is making strides in reducing gas flaring, setting a model for the world. Emissions tracking for the oil and gas industry has delivered strong support, reflecting the nation's commitment to environmental sustainability .
