Director of executive management of "Engineering Union of Kazakhstan" Timurlan Altayev offered Polish enterprises to supply pipes and cable products to Kazakh Tengiz field at a round table on the theme "Investment cooperation of Kazakhstan, Poland."
"As per logistics, we have something to discuss with the Polish logistics companies," he said. "The transportation costs amounted to $2 billion. We also encourage Polish companies to deliver Polish goods to the Tengiz field. It will require 1,100 km of pipelines, and almost 5,000 km of cable products."
Altayev said that the expansion project on the Tengiz field is one of the projects which will require purchase of equipment in large volumes.
