The maintenance, finished on schedule and within budget, achieved a 23% improvement in execution efficiency compared to the 2019 turnaround at KTL-1.

TCO General Director Kevin Lyon highlighted that this year’s turnaround is an example of tremendous collaboration between TCO and its contractor partners. Over 7,000 Kazakh employees participated in the process, and 20 local contractor companies contributed to several improvement activities focused on plant integrity and reliability.
TCO Deputy General Director Konilkosh Suyessinov noted that the company prioritized the involvement of Kazakh manufacturers and service providers throughout the turnaround.
