ASTANA, Kazakhstan, August 21. Chairman of the Management Board of KazMunayGas (KMG), Askhat Khassenov, reviewed the results of scheduled preventive maintenance (SPM) and the progress of key investment projects at the Pavlodar Petrochemical Plant (PPP), Trend reports via KazMunayGas.
At a meeting with the plant’s management, the successful performance over the first seven months of 2025 was highlighted: during this period, PPP processed 3.1 million tonnes of oil, which is 142,000 tonnes more than in the same period last year.
The plant also churned out 890,000 tonnes of gasoline and 1.1 million tonnes of diesel fuel—surpassing last year’s numbers by a neat 41,000 and 134,000 tonnes, respectively. The plant hit the ground running with a record daily throughput of 18,000 tonnes of oil, paving the way for a projected annual processing volume of 5.7 million tonnes.
"The successful completion of recent scheduled preventive maintenance one day ahead of schedule allowed for the additional production of 11,000 tonnes of light petroleum products," stated the company’s press service.
The facility is exhibiting exceptional operational efficacy,
with the technological fuel utilization and irretrievable loss
ratio over the seven-month period being curtailed to 5.2 percent.
To augment operational reliability and safety metrics, PPP has
initiated pilot projects aimed at the integration of artificial
intelligence paradigms.
Predictive analytics frameworks will facilitate the anticipation of
equipment malfunctions and enhance adherence to safety compliance
protocols. Cutting-edge technological advancements, including
augmented reality-enabled helmets equipped with real-time video
monitoring capabilities and the i-Saq autonomous robotic canine for
patrolling operations, are currently undergoing rigorous field
trials.
