Kazakhstan’s government has significantly increased capital expenditure on road infrastructure in recent years, creating growing demand for road-grade bitumen. As one of Kazakhstan’s bitumen-producing refineries, KazNPZ is well-positioned to serve this demand from its Aktau facility, with products deliverable by rail to construction sites across the country.
Kazakhstan’s Ministry of Energy has outlined an ambitious national roadmap for the oil refining sector through 2040, targeting a significant increase in total domestic refining capacity. The plan includes expanding the Shymkent refinery from 6 to 12 million tons per year, Pavlodar from 5.5 to 8 million tons, and Atyrau from 5.5 to 6.7 million tons — as well as the development of a new 10-million-ton-per-year refinery by 2030. KazNPZ supports this national direction and is committed to growing its own output in alignment with Kazakhstan’s energy security objectives.
Situated in the heart of the Caspian energy corridor, Kazakh Oil Refinery Plant (KazNPZ) stands as one of Kazakhstan’s dedicated oil processing facilities in Aktau, Mangystau Region. With direct access to the Caspian Sea port infrastructure and proximity to the country’s most prolific hydrocarbon-producing zones, KazNPZ is uniquely positioned to receive, refine, and distribute a wide range of petroleum products to domestic and international markets.
