Worley in Kazakhstan
We’ve been a trusted name for more than 25 years in Kazakhstan. And we want to leave a legacy of new capabilities for Kazakhstan in engineering, project management, construction, and fabrication by committing to nationalization goals.
We have experts in onshore pipelines, gas processing, resource infrastructure, mining and minerals, aluminium, bauxite, and alumina. And we combine that local knowledge with global expertise to deliver innovative solutions.
We can execute all scopes of work, including small projects, sustainability initiatives, and turnaround and maintenance services. Local licensing is already in place, and our design institute ensures comprehensive project planning and execution.

Our in-country experience
We partner with our customers to deliver projects and create value over the life of their portfolio of assets. For over two decades we’ve supported and delivered some of Kazakhstan’s largest and most complex projects.
We’re working with our customer on the expansion of oil production at the Tengiz field by 12 million tons per year.
The Future Growth Project expands production and the Wellhead Pressure Management Project keeps the existing Tengiz plants full by lowering the flowing wellhead pressure and boosting the pressure to Tengiz’s six processing trains.
We’re supplying front end engineering design (FEED), and detail engineering, procurement, and construction management (EPCM) for the Wellhead Pressure Management scope of the project.
We focus on supporting the training and development of the local workforce. And work was carried out by our local engineering centers in Atyrau, Almaty, and Aktau. Contributing to the creation of a long term sustainable workforce in the region. With further support from our joint venture teams in New Delhi, India, Farnborough, UK, and Houston, USA.
We provided our customer, a global integrated energy company with the design and delivery of all base of plant (BOP) components for a 55 MW wind farm facility using GE wind turbines.
Our scope included design of all foundations, roads, electrical systems and various upgrades within the transmission network, using electrical and civil expertise from our teams in Kazakhstan. We also worked with our teams in South Africa, Spain and Australia who had specific wind farm technical expertise.
The Tengiz field and processing facilities are approximately 130 km southwest of the town of Kulsary, and 300 km southeast of the port city of Atyrau, in a remote area just east of the Caspian Sea.
We supplied end to end support, from concept to detailed design for our customer, a leading oil and gas and associated products producer in Kazakhstan. Our scope included validating the pipeline design based on the pressure drop reduction, identifying tie-in locations, trunk line design including routing, control and electrical system design and utilities requirement.
We provided front end engineering design (FEED) and detailed design for the 5th Trunkline project. A 12-inch pipeline with 605 bar design pressure transporting sour injection gas through congested areas in the Karachaganak field from Unit 2 processing to three injection wells 8 km away.
Our scope was the design of the 12-inch pipeline as well and the 8-inch well flowlines to ensure the longevity of the pipelines throughout the design life of the system. This included the integrity of the pipelines as well as the fatigue life and fracture mechanics requirements for safe operation.
The team successfully delivered bespoke designs of the pipeline configuration, including culverted bends, culverted loops, and custom bends. They also identified sensitivities to cover extreme loading scenarios and eliminated pipeline end anchor blocks. Our weld-by-weld fatigue and fracture mechanics analysis led to optimized solutions and increased fatigue life.
