The Qazaq Astyq Group oil extraction plant was in the center of attention at the forum of agricultural workers of the Abay region.

Nikolay USHAKOV, General Director of the QAZAQ-ASTYQ GROUP oil extraction plant, took an active part in the discussion of how the shortage of energy resources hinders business development in the region at the meeting of the sub-industry Council of the Abay region manufacturing industry with the participation of government agencies and entrepreneurs.

A year ago, journalists of 24 KZ TV channel flew from Astana to Semey to compare black snow on the central streets of the city and white snow on its outskirts. Black snow "thanks" to coal-fired boilers that heat the right bank. And on the eastern outskirts of Semey, the snow remains white, because the oil extraction plant of QAZAQ-ASTYQ GROUP LLP runs on environmentally friendly fuel-sunflower husk.
