KGNT: A new stage in the development of domestic engineering in partnership with
JSC «NC «KazMunayGas»
Astana hosted a landmark meeting of Chairman of the Board of JSC NC KazMunayGas Askhat Khasenov with the heads of the country’s leading design organizations. KGNT Company, as one of the flagships of Kazakhstani engineering, took an active part in discussing the future of the industry.
The main leitmotif of the meeting was the transition from the simple adaptation of foreign drawings to the full-fledged participation of domestic specialists in key design stages.
For KGNT, this development vector coincides with the company’s internal strategy. We have the necessary experience and technical base to not only support projects, but also act as their main developers at the stages of FEED (basic design) and Detailed Engineering (operational design).

Why is this important for the market and KGNT?
The strengthening of the role of Kazakhstani companies initiated by KMG opens up new horizons for us:
1) Competence building: Direct participation in complex technological projects allows our engineers to work at the level of world standards.
2) Long-term planning: Discussing issues of long-term cooperation provides an opportunity to invest in staff training and modern software.
3) Efficiency for the country: The use of in-depth knowledge of local norms, standards and the specifics of the region (which KGNT is renowned) guarantees more effective implementation of KMG projects.
As a result of the meeting, questions were discussed/raised about the expansion of the participation of Kazakhstani engineers at all stages of the life cycle of oil and gas facilities. KGNT confirms its readiness to act as a reliable partner of JSC «NC «KazMunayGas», providing high-quality design solutions and contributing to the development of Kazakhstan’s industrial potential.

“EC “KGNT” LLP Joins the Work Group on Local Content Development in Petrochemicals

The importance of increasing local content in major petrochemical projects in Kazakhstan is becoming a key priority for both the State and business. To ensure an effective dialogue, a Work Group has been established, comprising heads of government authorities, representatives of the quasi-public sector, and leading companies in the industry. After six months of consideration, our company officially became a member of the Work Group as of December 2025, by decision of the Ministry of Energy of the Republic of Kazakhstan. Meetings of the Work Group are held twice a year under the chairmanship of the Vice Minister, where key decisions are made on the development of domestic participation in the country’s oilfield services and petrochemical projects. For KGNT, it is a new stage of cooperation with the State and an opportunity to play a more active role in increasing the level of local content and advancing the development of Kazakhstan’s petrochemical industry.
