доклады, презентацииAll deliveries of diesel fuel for the sowing, harvesting were100% made with a discount. The discount, as you see, wassignificant.Social oil supply is on schedule. The preparation of thiswork for 2013 is also on schedule.Now, regarding gas... Production has increased, respectively,production of dry sales gas increased by 2.3%.The forecast of raw gas production for 2013 under the MOGStrategic Plan is 40.5 billion cubic meters, the production ofsales gas is planned to increase to 22.1 billion cubic meters.Sales Gas BalanceAccording to the Agreement on the Counter Gas Deliveriesconcluded between Gazprom, Uzbekneftegas and KMG, allgas import shall be “swapped” with Karachaganak export at anequal price and in equal volumes.The volume of gas export with the account of such SWAPoperations totaled 11.2B cubic meters (101.8% against 2011).Domestic sales gas consumption increased by 2.9% andtotaled 10.5B cubic meters in 2012.In 2012, the amount of 13.5B KZT was allocated from thenational budget to buildout the gas transmission system;construction was complete under 43 projects; approximately600km of gas line was constructed. This resulted in thepossibility to supply gas to 60 populated areas in 8 regionsof the country.RK Gas Transmission Lines MapAccording to the President's message to people of Kazakhstandated January 27, 2012 the Tobol-Kokshetau-Astana GasTransmission Line Construction Project is being worked outto gasify Astana and northern regions of the country, whichwill provide natural gas supplies to the previously non-gasifiedregions of the country.Currently, feasibility studies and design estimates havebeen developed for the project, as well as financing by theSamruk-Kazyna bailout funds is negotiated.Russian raw gas, delivered by the equivalent scheme (SWAPoperations) from the Western Kazakhstan fields, is plannedto use as a raw materials source for the Project. In future,gas might be delivered from the planned Karachaganak GasProcessing Plant (further - KGPP), which also was mentionedin the President’s message.The construction Project of the second section of theKazakhstan – China gas transmission line along Beineu-Bozoy-Shymkent route is in progress; as well as the construction andassembling operations have been commenced in August 1,2012 to fulfill the President’s task.The Bozoy-Shymkent section is planned to put intooperation by October, 2013. Works on Beineu-Bozoy willbe expedited. Previously, construction commencement wasplanned for 2014; this date will be transferred to 2013.Production of Liquefied Gas, Domestic Consumption andExports in 2011-2013The level of the liquefied gas consumption by publiccommunity and municipal services remained at the 2011level.The volume of production increased by 3% against 2011.The export increased by 4.6%.96.5B cubic meters (99.8%) of gas were transited viaKazakhstan. In the whole, the 2012 gas transit level is equalto 2011.However, purposed at the increase of the transit and exportpotential of the country, the construction of the third line ofthe Kazakhstan – China gas transmission line is planned withcapacity of 25B cubic meters a year.In October 27, 2011, the Parties signed the Protocol onAmendments and Additions to the Agreement betweenthe Government of RK and the Government of PRC onthe cooperation in the construction and operation of theKazakhstan – China gas transmission line, which is currentlypassing through internal procedures on entry into effect.Gas Flaring VolumesIn the course of the Gas Recovery Program implementation bysubsoil users, the amount of gas flared made 1.0 billion cubicmeters and decreased by 15% compared to 2011.At the end of 2012, KazMunayGas, JSC and KazahoylAktobe,LLP failed to complete the Gas Recovery Program in a timelymanner. Other companies, flare in accordance with the law,only within the approved limits of a so-called technologicallyinevitable combustion. The Gas Recovery Program was98№2 (57), 2013
