In 2019 alone TCO and its suppliers fulfilled 13 Kazakhstani content plans under long-term contracts
TCO works with globally recognized original equipment manufacturers (OEM) to maintain safe, reliable and uninterrupted production operations and continue executing FGP-WPMP project. We have partnered with several OEMs to create lonough building infrastructure, technology transfer and talent development
TCO identifies opportunities for local content development with existing and potential suppliers
TCO and suppliers negotiate these opportunities and Kazakhstani Content plan is created
TCO and suppliers formalize KC plans within the agreements
TCO continuously monitors compliance and performance
When it comes to local content, measuring our performance is important to track our success. Calculation and reporting of Kazakhstani content spent is one of the legal requirements for TCO. It’s in our best interests to ensure that TCO suppliers are familiar with methodology of KC calculation. On a quarterly basis we conduct relevant training for our Business Partners that cover certain aspects of Subsoil Use Code and governmental decrees, which govern the calculation of local content, basic concepts and definitions, and examples of calculating KC in goods and services spent. Please note that this training is dedicated to TCO’s current suppliers and contractors only.
The development of AI and digital technologies continues to drive optimization and improve production efficiency, particularly in the oil and gas industry. At the international oil and gas exhibition and conference KIOGE 2026, Tengizchevroil (TCO) presented its approach to production optimization through Smart Engineering. This approach is based on the integration of data, workflows and digital tools to increase transparency and enhance collaboration between different production functions throughout the asset lifecycle.
Integrated digital engineering or Smart Engineering brings together engineering, production and operational data within a single digital environment, providing specialists with access to up-to-date information in real time. According to Yelena Ten, Digital Technology Consultant at TCO, this approach helps eliminate information gaps between functions and enables faster decision-making. The integrated data network improves the quality of analytics and supports more informed decision-making. It also provides a framework for developing predictive capabilities in reliability, maintenance and operational excellence.
A unified digital environment also provides easier access to information and enables the integration of data from different systems, helping the specialists gain a more comprehensive understanding of the condition and performance of production facilities.
“At TCO, we strive to create an environment where the right information is available to the right people at the right time. This helps us make better decisions, improve the reliability of our production facilities, and build a foundation for new technological opportunities in the future,” said Yelena Ten, TCO Digital Technology Consultant.
One example of this approach is the complete laser scanning of plants, which serves as a core step in the implementation of digital twins. This has become a key factor in ensuring accurate 3D geometry of the assets to create high-precision digital models in the future. Digital twin simulations help optimize processes in a virtual environment, improve resource utilization, simulate various scenarios of equipment operation, and evaluate potential solutions before they are implemented at operating facilities.
As digital solutions continue to evolve, TCO plans to expand its capabilities to manage production facilities more efficiently, improve equipment reliability, and enhance production processes. By creating a unified and reliable information environment, the company is laying the foundation for new solutions that will support the safe and efficient operation of its assets in the future.
The development of Smart Engineering is part of TCO’s ongoing efforts to introduce modern technologies and industry best practices. These efforts support the safe and reliable operation of production facilities, improve business efficiency and foster a culture of continuous improvement.
