Country Analysis Brief
  • Kazakhstan is important to world energy markets because it has significant oil and natural gas reserves. After years of foreign investment into the country's oil and natural gas sectors, the landlocked Central Asian state has recently begun to realize its enormous production potential. With sufficient export options, Kazakhstan could become a major world energy producer and exporter over the next decade.
  • Major oil production growth is expected in the next decade from Kazakhstan. Existing production from the Tengiz field is expected to double, and the Kashagan field will add an additional 1 million bbl/d after 2011. Construction of oil export infrastructure is a critical component of sustained growth from the country.
  • With large amounts of associated natural gas at its oil fields, Kazakhstan has the potential to become a net exporter in upcoming years. However, the lack of available gas export infrastructure will limit export growth.
  • Kazakhstan contains Central Asia’s largest recoverable coal reserves, and is the second largest coal producer in the Former Soviet Union after Russia.
  • Kazakhstan’s large size, key geographic situation, and relatively progressive power market structure make the country an ideal hub for region-wide electricity trade. International financial institutions are actively working to upgrade deteriorating transmission and generation infrastructure.
