Background
In February 2024, it was reported that an agreement had been signed with Qatari investors, specifically with Power International Holding, to jointly implement the project for construction of the Aktobe-Kostanay Gas Pipeline.[7] In May 2024, the terms of the deal with Qatar, including for implementation of three other joint gas projects, were approved at a government meeting. According to the agreement, Qatari UCC Holding (a subsidiary of Power International Holding) will build two gas processing plants, a new compressor station KS-14, and the main gas pipeline KS-14 - Kostanay - Aktobe, as well as the second line of the Beineu-Bozoy-Shymkent pipeline. QazaqGaz and UCC Holding reached a consensus on all four projects. Their joint implementation is expected to begin in the near future.[3]
In July 2024, it was reported that the feasibility study was expected to be completed in 2024. Construction is scheduled to begin at the end of the year.[6] In August 2024, the construction of the pipeline was announced at a meeting with population of the Kostanay region. The pipeline will supply gas to individual and industrial consumers in the region.[1] The Kostanay region, currently supplied by the Kartaly-Rudny-Kostanay Gas Pipeline built in 1965, is facing gas shortages.[6]
