中国石化新闻网讯 据《世界油气新闻》3月11日阿斯塔纳报道，哈萨克斯坦总统纳扎尔巴耶夫日前下令建造一条从本国南部克孜勒奥尔达延伸到本国首都阿斯塔纳的新的国家天然气管道。

纳扎尔巴耶夫是在3月5日在议会两院联席会议上发表上述讲话的。他说，哈萨克斯坦目前只有9个地区（主要在西部和南部）已实现天然气化，而中部和北部地区至今仍然没有实现天然气化，这使得非常有必要铺设一条新的国家天然气管道。

纳扎尔巴耶夫说，自从苏联在1991年解体以来，哈萨克斯坦的天然气年产量从80亿立方米增加到了520亿立方米。这个数字将会逐年增加。

纳扎尔巴耶夫强调说，哈萨克斯坦政府必须吸引投资资金包括来自国际金融机构的投资资金来完成这个项目。他补充说，这个项目应在未来18个月内实施。

这个项目有望把阿斯塔纳大气中有害气体的排放量减少10倍。

Kazakhstan Plans New Gas Pipeline from Kyzylorda to Astana

Kazakhstan’s President Nursultan Nazarbayev has ordered the construction of a new national gas pipeline stretching from Kyzylorda in the south of Kazakhstan to the Kazakh capital, Astana.

"Only nine (of Kazakhstan’s) regions are currently gasified – mainly in the western and southern regions, while the central and northern regions of the country are still without gas. This makes it necessary to build a gas pipeline,” Nazarbayev told a joint session of the Houses of Parliament on March 5.

Gas production in the country has annually increased from 8 to 52 billion cubic meters since the fall of the Soviet Union in 1991, a figure that will continue to grow on a yearly basis, according to Nazarbayev.

Nazarbayev stressed that the Kazakh government must attract investment funds, including from international financial institutions to complete the project, adding that the project should be implemented within the next 18 months.

The project is expected to see a ten-fold reduction of harmful emissions in the atmosphere in Astana.
