This was announced by Vice Energy Minister Alibek Zhamauov at a Majilis plenary session, News.Az reports, citing Kazakh media.

He said Kazakhstan plans to launch liquefied petroleum gas production at Kashagan and Karachaganak oilfields. Kashagan is predicted to produce 800,000 tons of liquefied petroleum gas a year, while Karachaganak is set to produce 600-700,000 tons a year to fix the shortages by 2030.
