Tengiz Expansion Sets New Benchmark for Kazakhstan’s Oil Future

The Tengiz oilfield, one of Kazakhstan’s crown jewels, reached a transformative milestone in early 2025 with the launch of Chevron’s Future Growth Project (FGP). This third processing plant has added 260,000 bpd to Tengiz’s capacity, bringing its total output closer to an impressive 1 million barrels of oil equivalent per day (boepd). For Kazakhstan, this achievement is more than a number—it’s a bold statement about our future in the global energy landscape.

The FGP, a feat of engineering, enhances sour gas injection and leverages advanced technology to maximize recovery from this massive field. It’s a shining example of what’s possible when Kazakhstan partners with international leaders like Chevron. The project not only boosts production but also drives economic growth, creating jobs and strengthening our position as a dependable supplier amid rising global demand.

We see Tengiz’s success as inspiration. Our own efforts in innovation and collaboration mirror this spirit, whether through adopting cutting-edge techniques or forging strategic alliances. As Tengiz sets a new benchmark, we’re proud to contribute to Kazakhstan’s energy story—one that blends ambition, expertise, and a vision for sustainability. This is just the beginning of what we can achieve together.
