KPOC's plan is for plateau production from 2006 to be 300,000 b/d of oil and condensate and over 15 BCM/year of gas.
The plan called for construction of a 6m t/y condensate refinery and gas processing facility at Karachaganak which will cost $400m and enable KPOC to end its dependence on a Russian processing plant at Orenburg, across the Russian border.
A 460 km pipeline to link up with CPC's will be built for KPOC, which will enable it to raise production to 195,000 b/d of liquids and 1 BCF/day of gas by 2002.
Later Gazprom took MunaiGaz's 15% stake on the understanding that the Russian monopoly would help KPOC secure a good export outlet for the field's production.
