To the organizers of KAZENERGY Eurasian Forum VI!

The Government of Kazakhstan supports the holding of KAZENERGY Eurasian Forum VI – Kazakhstan: 20 Years of Stable Growth, New Horizons for Investment and Cooperation, considering it an important step in implementing Kazakhstan’s overall policy of developing international energy cooperation.Our country plays an ever-expanding role in the Eurasian and global energy markets. This status requires that representatives of Kazakhstan’s oil and gas sector increase their political activity accordingly so as to strengthen our position and promote our interests in today’s complex world.

The meetings, discussions and multi-faceted dialogue among participants in the global energy process made possible by your Forum serve as an effective means for accomplishing these objectives. The current Forum is held in a year of great significance for Kazakhstan and its oil and gas industry. It is twenty years since our country gained independence and development began at the giant Tengiz field, which has become a symbol of the success of investment cooperation in the new Kazakhstan.

These dates remind us of the colossal road our country has traveled in its development over such a short period of time, and of the role played in this by the energy industry, its enterprises and organizations, united within the ranks of your Association.

I am certain that the convening of KAZENERGY Forum VI, and taking stock of the changes that have taken place in Kazakhstan in the years since independence, will serve us in realizing the objectives set by Kazakhstan’s President for both the country in general and the industry in particular.

Industrial innovation and modernization, acceleration of social progress and promoting social initiative – these are key areas of growth where the participation of Kazakhstan’s energy community is significant.

The Government of Kazakhstan supports your active international role and the methods employed for its realization. Facilitating the convening of KAZENERGY Forum VI is part of that support.

With regards,

Prime Minister

of the Republic of Kazakhstan

To the participants of VIth KAZENERGY Eurasian forum

Dear Ladies and Gentelmen!

On behalf of the Ministry of Oil and Gas of the Republic of Kazakhstan, I would like to welcome the organizers, participants and guests of the 6th KAZENERGY Eurasian Forum!

The KAZENERGY Forum became a widely recognized international event, a platform for exchange of opinions between the government and business representatives, and also plays an important role in the facilitation of a constructive dialogue to identify further ways of development and solve the urgent problems in the industry.

Today’s Forum is held on the year when our country is celebrating the 20th Anniversary of its Independence. Over the two decades of independence, Kazakhstan had achieved impressive success in economic, political and social development.

All these years the Oil and Gas Sector was the driving force of economic and social reforms in the country. Between the 1995^th and 2010^th, nearly USD104 billion of foreign and domestic investment was directed to Kazakhstan's hydrocarbon sector.

With a high sense of responsibility, Kazakhstan realizes its growing role in the Eurasian energy security system. Predictability of actions, negotiability, ability to account for multilateral interests – this is how we understand the ways to achieve the energy security.

Strategic international initiatives of the President of Kazakhstan, Nursultan Nazarbayev, declared in 2011, are focused at maintaining stability in energy markets.

The topic of todays’ 6th KAZENERGY Forum is “Kazakhstan: 20 years of sustained growth and new horizons of investment and sustained cooperation”.

I am confident that the Forum will contribute to strengthening of public-private partnerships and increase investment attractiveness of Kazakhstan.

I wish all participants and guests of the Forum fruitful work and all the success!

Sincerely yours, Sauat Mynbaev, Minister
Dear participants, ladies and gentlemen!

In 2011 the Republic of Kazakhstan will celebrate the 20^th anniversary of its independence. Over the course of those years our country has established itself as a respected sovereign state, a full-fledged member of the world community known for its dynamic and stable development. The energy sector of Kazakhstan’s economy has made a significant contribution to these processes, becoming not only the driving force of economic growth and modernization for he country but also a graphic example of cooperation among government agencies, foreign investors and private entrepreneurial initiative.

Since the early 1990s annual production of oil and condensate has grown almost four-fold to 79.7 MT, which has facilitated to a significant degree a more than ten-fold growth of the national economy. Through or joint efforts we have almost doubled Kazakhstan’s share of the global oil market, while with respect to uranium the country has become the world leader, producing 17,800 tons in 2010. By 2015 annual domestic production of hydrocarbons will reach 95 MT of oil and condensate, and more than 59 BCM of natural gas.

The energy sector has developed a sustainable and dynamic structure; over the years in question we have succeeded in attracting impressive investments and balancing the interests of oil and gas market participants, whether state-owned or private entities, domestic or foreign enterprises, transnational corporations or representatives of small business. As of today our priorities are to develop innovation, strengthen local content and social responsibility, establish effective environmental protection systems and achieve a synthesis between fundamental scientific research and industrial infrastructure.

In that respect the theme of KAZENERGY Forum VI is highly symbolic – “Kazakhstan: 20 Years of Sustainable Growth, New Horizons for Investment and Stable Cooperation.”

I am confident that the work of the Forum will contribute to more effective cooperation between the industrially developed countries and countries that produce natural resources, as well as serving o develop mutual understanding and international partnership.

I wish the Forum’s participants success in their work of discussing priority issues and considering constructive proposals!

With Respect,

Chairman of the KAZENERGY Association

Dear Ladies and Gentlemen,

On behalf of KazMunayGas National Company, I would like to welcome all the participants and guests of the 6^th KAZENERGY Eurasian Forum. This year’s forum is being held alongside KIOGE 2011, the 19^th Kazakhstan International Oil and Gas Exhibition and Conference.

Every year, the KAZENERGY Forum brings together leading scientists and experts, prominent political and public figures, and representatives of major oil and gas companies from more than 40 countries to discuss current issues in the global energy industry, and energy and climate security.

The scale and complexity of energy problems faced by the world community necessitates joint efforts and approaches to addressing them. This forum is one of the most effective platforms for discussing the key energy issues for Eurasian countries.

The main topic of this year’s KAZENERGY Eurasian Forum is Kazakhstan: 20 Years of Sustainable Growth, New Horizons for Investment and Cooperation. It is noteworthy that in the year that Kazakhstan celebrates the 20^th anniversary of its independence, the KAZENERGY Association marks its 5^th anniversary.

I am happy to see that the forum is not only limited to a discussion of theoretical issues, but also has a practical aspect. Its programme includes plenary sessions, panel discussions, roundtables, seminars, the KAZENERGY Youth Forum, and a G2B exhibition for health, labour and environmental protection. The Ar-Namys competition will identify the best energy companies in the area of corporate social responsibility.

I am confident that the KAZENERGY Eurasian Forum will help companies to establish business relations and sign mutually beneficial contracts, which will serve as the basis for the creation of successful new projects and joint ventures in Kazakhstan.

I hope that the forum proves interesting and effective for the participants and guests.

K. Kabyldin

Dear participants and guests of the Forum!

Tengizchevroil LLP would like to offer a warm welcome to the VI KAZENERGY Eurasian Forum participants. In the year of the 20th anniversary of Independence of the Republic of Kazakhstan and the 20th anniversary of first oil from the Tengiz field, we continue our quest to further improve upon our strong performance in all areas of our activities. The success in sulfur sales has led to a reduction of the sulfur inventory in Tengiz to 4.7 million tonnes as of July 31, 2011.

Environmental protection is a top priority for TCO. Since 2000, TCO has invested $2.26 billion U.S. dollars on projects to improve environmental protection. During this period, such investments have enabled TCO to reduce the total volume of gas flared by 97 percent and the total volume of emissions per tonne of crude oil has been reduced by 74 percent.

As a company dedicated to corporate social responsibility, TCO has invested more than $645 million U.S. dollars for the period from 1993 to 2011 on variou ssocial projects dedicated to improving the lives of the Atyrau oblast community and TCO’s employees. In 2011, TCO’s social infrastructure program, called Egilik (benefit in Kazakh) has focused on furthering the reconstruction of the water supply system in Kulsary city.

TCO recently received a “Company of the Year in the Oil and Gas Industry” award from the Ministry of Labor and Social Protection.

TCO provides comprehensive support to the KAZENERGY Association and attaches great importance to the KAZENERGY Eurasian Forum. Thanks to the efforts of the organizers, a rich and interesting program is offered this year. Topical issues have been chosen for discussion, and we will look forward to hearing the presentations and opinions of Forum participants. We hope that the wide-ranging debate on relevant issues will be useful for the further development the of the energy sector of the Republic.

We wish all participants fruitful work, information exchange and good results.

Sincerely,

Dear participants, ladies and gentlemen!

On behalf of BG Group I am delighted to welcome the participants of the Kazenergy Forum in the 20th anniversary year of

the independence of Kazakhstan. In that time, Kazakhstan has become the unquestionable leader of Central Asia. One key reason for this success is the wise policy of openness to international investment, expertise and skills. This has enabled Kazakhstan to unlock the potential of its great natural wealth, bringing stability, growth and prosperity to its people.

BG Group has been a partner with Kazakhstan since independence. We are proud of the contribution we have made to the Republic’s success, and we look forward to strengthening our partnership in the years ahead.

The task that now faces us all is to build on the successes of the first two decades. Having secured growing prosperity in Kazakhstan, we must work together to achieve the full modernisation of the economy through policies

that support investment, innovation and local content. This will require an even closer and richer dialogue between the Republic, investors and other partners. The Kazenergy Forum is an excellent opportunity to deepen the co-operation that will help achieve our shared goals.

I look forward to a successful and productive Forum.
