The story

KazTransGas was founded in 2000 as a subsidiary of KazMunayGas to manage Kazakhstan's natural gas pipeline infrastructure. The company is responsible for the operation and development of the country's gas pipeline network, which transports natural gas from production fields to domestic consumers and for export.

In 2006, KazTransGas acquired Tbilisi, a gas distributor. However, in 2009, the management rights of the company were transferred away by the Georgian Government. In March 2018, Georgian Industrial Group announced its acquisition of KazTransGas Tbilisi, a subsidiary company of KazTransGas, for $40 million. In December 1, 2015, it launched the third branch of the Kazakhstan-China gas pipeline, completing the project and reaching its full capacity of 55 billion cubic meters per year.

On May 12, 2023, KazTransGas Aimak launched a 60-kilometer underground high-pressure gas pipeline in the Mangystau Region, connecting Kuryk village with Sarsha and the Warm Beach resort near Aktau to support resort development and address regional water scarcity.
