In his words, Kazakhstan’s oil and gas sector develops actively which is proved by successful completion of reconstruction of the 3 largest oil refineries, which in turn will let increase oil processing up to 17mn tonnes.


«However, the government has been set a task to increase non-primary exports twofold by 2025. Petrochemical products should comprise a considerable part of exports,» he emphasized.
