KazMunayGas and Chevron discuss implementation of Future Growth Project at Tengiz field

Alik Aidarbayev, Chairman of the Management Board of JSC NC "KazMunayGas” has held a meeting with James Johnson, Executive Vice President, Upstream at Chevron.

The parties discussed a wide range of matter of bilateral cooperation, including the progress of the Future Growth Project at Tengiz field.

“This is my first international trip since the beginning of the pandemic. I think it is absolutely deservedly that this visit is to Kazakhstan. Kazakhstan continues to play an important role to us, including investment matters, that's why we highly appreciate the opportunity to meet you face to face and discuss the matters of strengthening our cooperation”, James Johnson noted.

He stated that the implementation of the Future Growth Project is the focus of attention of Chevron's management. “From our part, we do everything possible to get the project completed within the approved budget and work schedule”, Chevron's Vice President asserted.

“KazMunayGas, as the country’s national oil and gas operator, also pays special attention to the implementation of the Future Growth Project. Certainly, the coronavirus pandemic has made its own adjustments, but we are happy that the project budget stays static. I would like to mention the well-coordinated work of Tengizchevroil's team during the pandemic, who accomplished this task with flying colours”, Alik Aidarbayev emphasized.

Additionally A. Aidarbayev and J. Johnson discussed the outlook of interfacing in the oil-and-gas chemistry sector.
