In 2023, Kazakhstan’s average oil output stood at 1.93 mb/d—a 0.11 mb/d increase compared to 2022. Total production for the year reached 90 million tons, reflecting a 6.9% rise year-on-year.

Kazakhstan aims to continue boosting production levels in the coming years. By 2025, the target is 97.2 million tons, with an ambitious plan to achieve 104.8 million tons by 2029.
