Background

Gazprom is to complete a preliminary techno-economic viability report on the gas pipeline in July 2023, which is a part of the project to supply gas to Northern and Eastern parts of Kazakhstan. The route is preliminary, the project details may change.

The pipeline may extend further to China, however the priority is to supply gas to Kazakh regions. Kazakhstan has been considering a few options to supply gas to Northern and Eastern regions, including an expansion of the Saryarka gas pipeline, a new Kostanay-Astana-Pavlodar-Semey-Oskemen gas pipeline, or Russian gas.
