Kazakhstan, geographically the largest of the former Soviet republics, and the ninth largest country in the world, possesses enormous fossil fuel reserves and plentiful supplies of other minerals and metals, such as uranium, copper, gold and zinc. It also has a large agricultural sector featuring livestock and grain. 

Since independence in 1991, Kazakhstan has achieved significant results in its efforts to attract foreign investment. Most of that investment has been in the natural resources sector. However, in recent years the government has been observed trying to change the emphasis on investment to cover a more diverse range of industries and sectors.

Kazakhstan’s current oil production is approximately 1.7 mmboe per day, and current domestic consumption is 0.2 mmboe per day. Daily production has more than doubled in the last decade and amply supported by a reported proven reserve bases of 30 bnboe. The country is targeting production of 2 mmboe per day by 2017 and 3 mmboe per day by 2030.

Such production targets are facilitated by the country’s substantial export infrastructure – rail terminals, railcars and pipelines – routes to transport oil north to Russia, west to Europe, and east to China.

There has been a longstanding presence of both oil majors and NOC’s in-country: Chevron, ExxonMobil, ENI, Shell, Total and BG holds stakes in the super-giant fields of Tengiz, Kashagan and Karachaganak while several NOC’s have significant interests in the vast Kazakh onshore fields.
