tion has successfully implemented the Educational Program of KAZENER-
GY. Nowadays, the Educational Program of KAZENERGY has earned the
status of an effective mechanism that fosters development of specialized
education and supports cadres with industry potential.
It is unsurprising that the Educational Program has been realized with the
active support of the leading oil-gas and energy companies operating in
the country. In 2008, cooperation agreements were concluded with the
Center of International Programs, «Bolashak», and the privately established
United Center for Personnel Development in National Companies,
«KazMunaiGas».

The KAZENERGY Association develops contacts with mass-media and the world of
journalism. In particular, it stages press conferences on topical issues, and holds
informal meetings with journalists and mass-media representatives. The Association
also holds a Contest for journalists known as «The energy of the pen».
Under the aegis of the Association, the leading domestic oil-gas and energy analytical
magazine KAZENERGY circulates monthly with more than seven thousand issues.
The KAZENERGY Eurasian Forum is regarded as an important forum
for debate that unites the whole energy industry and enterprises within
Kazakhstan’s oil and gas industry. The event is the largest international
forum in Kazakhstan and the Caspian region.
The breadth of discussion and the extensive, high-level participants of the
Forum are testament to the Forum’s continual strengthening of its position
as an event of continental significance.
The Forum has been organized annually under the auspices of KAZEN-
ERGY since 2006, and four Forums have been held since that time. Their
participants were leading domestic and foreign representatives of the oilgas
and energy sector: prominent European, Asian and American policy
makers.
Heads of states and governmental bodies, managers of both global and
Kazakhstani energy companies, influential experts and mass-media are
among the Forum’s delegates. Participants have included such prominent
and well-known figures as the Prime Minister of Kazakhstan, Karim Massimov;
former Chancellor of Germany, Gerhard Shroeder; and Kazakhstan’s
Minister of Oil and Gas, Sauat Mynbayev.
As a result of the Forums, recommendations and solutions proposed to
ensure the stable development of the energy complex and to strengthen
international energy partnerships have inspired much productive debate
within the industry.
The KAZENERGY Association has thus been able to attain a position
at the heart of the industry’s dialogue, while providing the oil-gas and
energy branch with additional opportunities for stable and balanced
progress.
