Following the instructions given by President Kassym-Jomart Tokayev on the development of the gas and energy industry, the KMG carries out various initiatives to expand commercial gas production.
The Kazgermunai company, a KMG, and PetroKazakhstan Kumkol Resources joint venture started gas production at the Aksai Yuzhny gas condensate field in the Kyzylorda Region on May 10.
