20,000 people to be employed at Tengiz plant construction

“This investment project is estimated approximately at $37bln. As many as 20,000 people will be involved in its implementation, mainly in construction sites in Atyrau region and at Tengiz. We expect that the project will have a big multiplicative effect on the region. Several thousands of jobs will be created in Mangistau region, hundreds of specialists and workers in other regions of Kazakhstan will be involved in the project too. We have already entered into agreements with the enterprises in Pavlodar, East Kazakhstan, Almaty and West Kazakhstan regions on manufacture  of 53,000 tonnes of assembled modules. We forecast that upon completion of the construction works, oil production at Tengiz will increase from 26mln to 38mln tonnes per annum,” TCO General Manager for PR Rzabek Artygaliyev told Kazinform.
