By 2030, Kazakhstan plans to double its commercial gas production to 4.5 billion cubic meters. The increase will be driven by the development of new fields and the implementation of major geological exploration projects. Representatives of government agencies, businesses and the expert community discussed the prospects for gas infrastructure development and the sector’s potential at an international forum in Astana. A specialized exhibition held as part of the forum showcased modern digital technologies for every stage of gas production. Around 50 companies from five countries demonstrated their engineering solutions and AI developments. QazaqGaz presented its Aqyl Energy project, which includes a newly launched AI agent that assists citizens and handles their requests through a mobile app. Most importantly, the system analyzes gas consumption data, based on which artificial intelligence generates long-term demand forecasts.
«Artificial intelligence analyzes data on gas consumption over the past 10 to 15 years. The calculations take into account temperature, atmospheric pressure, wind direction, and other factors. Data from smart meters is also used. A total of 1.5 million such devices are set to be installed across Kazakhstan. They transmit gas consumption data every hour, which is then processed by artificial intelligence. Based on this information, the system generates forecasts of future gas consumption,» noted Damir Gulamov, Aqyl Energy Project Manager at QazaqGaz Aimaq.
