TIMUR KULIBAYEV
Dear colleagues, Distinguished guests!
On behalf of the KAZENERGY Association, I have the pleasure to welcome all speakers and participants to the KAZAKHSTAN ENERGY WEEK.
This year, Kazakhstan marks the 120th Anniversary of the start of oil production. On behalf of the KAZENERGY Association, I express my deep gratitude to industry veterans and congratulate colleagues and representatives of the “new generation” on this landmark event!
Kazakhstan successfully implements a development strategy for the oil and gas industry, which ensures an increase in hydrocarbon production and export, deep conversion of raw materials and development of petrochemicals. The extensive experience in managing the largest energy projects and introducing innovative technologies contributes to the stable growth of investment opportunities, strengthening the international standing of Kazakhstan and improving the quality of human capital.
The KAZAKHSTAN ENERGY WEEK – XII KAZENERGY Eurasian Forum is the main platform for discussion of global issues of energy development in the near term. The theme “Fueling the Future: Innovative Growth” chosen for the event is especially relevant both within the framework of the current modernization of our country’s economy and in terms of the main global trends.
One of the key events of the Forum will be the presentation of the IV National Energy Report. Moreover, the business program includes discussions of traditional issues of energy market development, including oil and gas, exploration, intensification of technological processes, modernization of the electric power sector and, of course, implementation of digital solutions.
The latest achievements in the energy sector will be demonstrated at the DIGITAL ENERGY interactive exhibition.
I am confident that the KAZAKHSTAN ENERGY WEEK, where an open and constructive dialogue will take place, will attract great interest from international energy companies and will facilitate mutually beneficial cooperation, exchange of experience and further development of the global energy system.
I wish all participants and guests of the event fruitful work!
