The Netherlands’ investements in Kazakhstan
Expert: Extension of production sharing agreement on Kazakh project of Kashagan unlikely
The extension of a production sharing agreement (PSA) on Kashagan Kazakh oil and gas project is unlikely, the Department Director of Due Diligence “2K Audit – Business Consulting / Morison International” Alexander Shtok stated.
“Today, Kazakhstan does not need agreements on production sharing. This mechanism was required when the country had no funds for development of the oil and gas industry. Currently, Kazakhstan is experiencing no difficulties in attracting investments, this is why cooperation with investors in the PSA format is not relevant. Moreover, Kazakhstan is trying to reconsider the PSA conditions for foreign investors in their favor. Therefore it will be difficult to extend the terms of the PSA on Kashagan, the energy expert Shtok told on Saturday.
