Qazaq Refinery pioneered the integrated approach to gas processing expansion by creating the Gas Processing Division (UPG) in 2022. Qazaq Refinery will ship 1.3 million cubic meters of natural gas, LPG, and dry stripped gas in 2021. Qazaq Refinery accounted for 12% of total gas shipments with 2 million cubic meters sold. Due to increased gas production, international gas sales increased by 3% year on year to 2 million cubic meters.

Whole LPG processing will begin in the first half of 2021, according to existing plans. Supplies of propane and butane to the company’s various clients will begin simultaneously. In the first year, 160,000 tonnes of LPG will be exported, with the majority of it delivered by railroad to both international and domestic markets. Cheaper gasoline and a more optimistic attitude in the local mobility industry will help drivers and public transportation riders in the foreseeable future. Another significant possibility for the LPG business is the displacement of gasoline and diesel fuel in river vessels.

Three gas processing plants (GPPs) in Orenburg, as well as the Perm Refinery and the Stavrolen petrochemical complex in Kazakhstan Territory, process natural gas and natural gas liquids. Qazaq Refinery generates associated petroleum gas, which is converted into liquid hydrocarbons and marketable gas at the refinery’s gas processing plants. Despite the fact that both oil and gas companies desire to build gas infrastructure in East Siberia, considerable challenges remain. Qazaq Refinery, for example, has spent more than six years establishing this specific field of operation.
