Overall construction progress of the Gas Separation Complex (GSC) in Kazakhstan's Atyrau region has exceeded 22%. This was announced by the press service of KazMunayGas (KMG). According to KazMunayGas, active construction and installation works are underway at the GSC site, with piling remaining a key area. ''Of the total 29,500 piles required for the project, 16,545 have been driven to date.
Preparations for the foundations for the next stage of construction are also underway,'' the press service adds. Concrete works are being carried out on foundations for process equipment and pipeline racks. A total of 4,509 cubic meters of concrete has been laid so far.
Construction of warehouse infrastructure is also ongoing, with materials being delivered to the site for the construction of a canteen, training center and medical facility. Particular attention is being paid to developing local content, including by involving Kazakh companies in construction works, services and the supply of goods. More than 2,500 people are currently involved in the construction of the GSC, with Kazakh citizens accounting for 97% of the workforce.
"The GSC project will become an important step in the development of Kazakhstan's oil and gas chemical industry, allowing part of the produced gas to be directed toward deeper processing domestically. The complex will be capable of processing up to 9.1 billion cubic meters of dry gas per year and will provide the Sileno polyethylene plant with the necessary feedstock - up to 1.6 million tons of ethane per year. In addition, up to 360,000 tons of propane will be produced," KMG said.
The project is expected to create new opportunities for the development of industry and small and medium-sized businesses, while also contributing to an increase in the share of value-added products. Source: https://www.trend.az/casia/kazakhstan/4215142.html © 2026 Trend News Agency.
