Alibek Zhamauov, Chairman of the Management Board of QazaqGaz, addressed a meeting of the Mazhilis Committee on Ecology and Natural Resources, where participants discussed increasing the share of local content in procurement by major oil and gas companies.
The head of QazaqGaz highlighted the national company’s ongoing efforts to support domestic manufacturers and suppliers.
“In 2025, QazaqGaz’s total procurement of goods, works and services amounted to KZT 345 billion, of which 99.7% was sourced from Kazakh suppliers. The share of in-country value increased from 90% in 2021 to 93% in 2025, reflecting the company’s systematic approach to localisation,” he said.
To further support domestic producers, QazaqGaz has signed agreements with the National Chamber of Entrepreneurs Atameken and the Union of Machine Builders of Kazakhstan, implementing joint projects aimed at increasing in-country value.
Offtake contracts remain a key instrument: between 2021 and 2025, the company signed 110 such agreements worth a total of KZT 11.7 billion. These include partnerships with Kazakh manufacturer Bemer Armatura LLP, which produces forged ball valves. Such cooperation helps attract investment, create jobs and localise the production of high-value, technologically advanced goods.
According to Zhamauov, the development of in-country value remains one of QazaqGaz’s key strategic priorities.
