During a regular working visit to the Atyrau Region, Chairman of the Management Board of JSC NC QazaqGaz, Alibek Zhamauov, reviewed the progress of construction works at the gas processing plant (GPP) being developed at the Kashagan field. The site inspection was attended by GPCI specialists and representatives of contracting organisations. Contractors provided updates on the current status of construction and installation works and presented plans for achieving key project milestones by the end of the year.
The Chairman emphasised the need to further strengthen resource mobilisation and accelerate construction activities. He noted that the project remains under the close attention of the Company’s leadership and instructed all parties involved to optimise operational processes. Particular focus was placed on strict compliance with industrial and fire safety requirements, including enhanced supervision of works carried out during night shifts.
