“A large gas pipeline “Beineu-Shymkent” of almost 3K km has been constructed within last 2-3 years. Thus we closed the circle and our natural gas produced in Karachaganak, East Kazakhstan, is supplied to south regions even to Almaty”.   

According to veterans main pipelines built in Soviet time were not connected technologically. Now they are united into one gas transmission system. Now they supplied the south part of the country with domestic gas and provide reverse gas delivery in any volumes and any directions. Few generations of gas workers dreamt about it. These strategic solutions accepted by within last two years by JSC “KazTransGas” have almost provided the energy security of the gas field.
