In 2019 alone TCO and its suppliers fulfilled 13 Kazakhstani content plans under long-term contracts
TCO works with globally recognized original equipment manufacturers (OEM) to maintain safe, reliable and uninterrupted production operations and continue executing FGP-WPMP project. We have partnered with several OEMs to create lonough building infrastructure, technology transfer and talent development
TCO identifies opportunities for local content development with existing and potential suppliers
TCO and suppliers negotiate these opportunities and Kazakhstani Content plan is created
TCO and suppliers formalize KC plans within the agreements
TCO continuously monitors compliance and performance
When it comes to local content, measuring our performance is important to track our success. Calculation and reporting of Kazakhstani content spent is one of the legal requirements for TCO. It’s in our best interests to ensure that TCO suppliers are familiar with methodology of KC calculation. On a quarterly basis we conduct relevant training for our Business Partners that cover certain aspects of Subsoil Use Code and governmental decrees, which govern the calculation of local content, basic concepts and definitions, and examples of calculating KC in goods and services spent. Please note that this training is dedicated to TCO’s current suppliers and contractors only.
On November 7, Atyrau hosted the second annual PetroEngineering Roundtable that brought together leading experts in design and engineering for Kazakhstan’s oil and gas sector. Among the participants were major operators, including Tengizchevroil LLP (TCO), which presented its experience and approaches to executing complex engineering projects.
The roundtable addressed key topics such as the development of engineering services, integration of Kazakhstani companies into large-scale projects, adoption of innovative technologies, and training of qualified personnel. Special attention was given to enhancing the efficiency of design and implementation of engineering solutions and stringent safety requirements.
“Today, Kazakhstan is undergoing a significant phase of industrial and infrastructure transformation. Our goal is to develop projects that will serve for decades, comply with international standards, and create new opportunities for regional development and the national economy as a whole,” said Zhassulan Bisembiyev, Deputy Akim of the Atyrau Region.
TCO representatives shared insights into the execution of world-class projects, with a particular focus on engineering solutions applied during the construction of the Third Generation Plant (3GP). This facility is part of the Future Growth Project – Wellhead Pressure Management Project (FGP-WPMP). The 3GP was built using pre-assembled modules, and local companies registered in Kazakhstan – such as Ersai and KCOI, operating in the Mangystau region – demonstrated their manufacturing capabilities by producing 75 large, prefabricated pipe racks and 10 remote instrument block boxes in compliance with international standards.
More than 126 vessels were involved in marine operations, with 40 newly built or significantly modified to meet project needs. The transportation of modules across the Caspian Sea was managed by the Kazmortransflot National Maritime Shipping Company.
Notably, over 30 Kazakhstani companies participated in the construction and commissioning of this world-class facility. During the commissioning of the Integrated Operations Control Center (IOCC), local specialists significantly enhanced their professional skills through comprehensive training and hands-on involvement in this unique project.
In his speech, Kanat Katrenov, TCO’s Project Management Consultant, emphasized that the development of engineering in the oil and gas sector requires a holistic approach and close collaboration among all stakeholders. He highlighted that key priorities remain improving the efficiency of existing facilities and implementing modern project management methods.
“Engineering development in the oil and gas sector is impossible without close collaboration and knowledge exchange. We strive for technological modernization, increased efficiency, and adherence to high safety and quality standards in executing complex engineering tasks,” said Kanat Katrenov.
The roundtable in Atyrau thus served as a vital platform for sharing expertise and discussing strategic directions for engineering development in Kazakhstan’s oil and gas industry. The ideas and approaches presented, including TCO’s contributions, reaffirm that the future of the sector lies in innovation, integration of local companies, and the cultivation of skilled professionals.
