Kazakhstan and Azerbaijan are discussing the possibility of building a plant for the production of liquefied natural gas in western Kazakhstan, Kazakh Energy Minister Kanat Bozumbayev told reporters, Interfax-Kazakhstan reported.

“We are considering the issue of construction of a liquefied gas production plant in Aktau for its further export to and transit through Azerbaijan. These issues are on the agenda,” Bozumbayev said.

In addition, he said, the possibility of creating a joint venture in Kazakhstan in the field of petroleum engineering is being discussed with Azerbaijan.

"Azerbaijan has a developed petroleum engineering industry. We are now discussing the creation of such plants in Kazakhstan with the participation of Azerbaijani capital, and using their experience, skills, and technologies, in order to sell the products to oil companies in the future," the minister said.

He stressed that since petroleum engineering products are imported by foreign companies in large quantities for the development of fields, the joint venture may start its activities with the assembly of oil and gas engineering equipment.

Bozumbayev also said the railway administrations of the two countries are discussing the possibility of supplying railcars and locomotives to Azerbaijan on pre-export financing terms.

Kazakhstan is working on opening direct regular flight to Japan in 2019, according to the Civil Aviation Committee of Kazakhstan’s Ministry of Industry and Infrastructure Development.

The legal framework for operating regular flights between Kazakhstan and Japan has been created by the ministry in 2016, Trend reports via Kazinform.

"Airlines of Kazakhstan and Japan have the right to operate 14 regular flights per week from each side with no limits. The destinations of Kazakh air carriers are Tokyo, Osaka, Nagoya and for Japanese airlines are Astana, Almaty and Karaganda," reads a message from the Committee.

The Committee said that earlier the two countries didn’t have a legal framework for operating flights from Kazakhstan to Tokyo.

"Currently, work is underway with the relevant airlines for opening direct regular flights to Japan this year," said the message.

Twenty-one airlines operate in Kazakhstan, only four of which are really big enough to be called national carriers and compete in the Kazakh market of passenger air travel services.

Air Astana, SCAT, Bek Air and Qazaq Air are the leaders in the Kazakh skies, annually transporting thousands of people and thousands of tons of goods.

The infrastructure will be paid for with local, national and private funds. It will be built in three phases. The first phase will provide gas to water-heating boilers and fuel-oil boilers, gas distribution networks of Koktal-1, Koktal-2 residential areas, Zheleznodorozhny and Southeast districts.


The second phase will build the infrastructure to supply fuel to the gas distribution networks of Michurino, International, Kuygenzhar, Telman, Prigorodny, Garden Village and Family Village residential areas.


The Ilyinka, Shubary and Ondiris districts will be supplied with gas following the third phase.


In the second quarter of this year, it is planned to begin construction of the first phase of the city’s gas distribution networks. Gas infrastructure development of the Koktal-1 and Koktal-2 residential areas, Zheleznodorozhny and Southeast districts is planned from 2019 to 2023 as funding becomes available.


Gas supply to the capital will be through the new Saryarka gas pipeline, which is planned to be built in four stages. At the first stage, the pipeline will be constructed along the Kyzylorda-Zhezkazgan-Karaganda-Astana route with a length of 1,081 kilometres.


At the second stage, it is planned to build the gas pipeline from Astana to Kokshetau. The third phase includes construction of the pipeline to Petropavlovsk. In the fourth stage, the Zhezkazgan and Temirtau compressor stations will be built.


It is expected that about 800 jobs will be created during the construction of the Saryarka gas pipeline, and more than 200 jobs will be created during its operation.
