Kazakhstan Agency for Regulation of Natural Monopolies set a crude oil refining price for PKOP as 4 947 KZT per ton (excluding VAT). The new refining price is effective from 6 August 2012.

Oil refining volume amounted to 4,58 million tons (vs. 4,1 million tons planned), which considerably exceeded the previous year’s results, when 4 million tons were refined. In 2010 the quality of refined products manufactured by the Refinery was adjusted to comply with the EURO-2 Standard requirements. The results of the second post-certification inspection audit confirmed the compliance of environmental management system functioning at the Refinery with ISO 14001:2004 international standard.
 
Since purchasing PKOP in 2000 the company has invested significant funds into refinery upgrade. Only during the past two years more than 30 million USD have been spent for these purposes. One of PKOP’s achievements, i.e. the cost reduction and the increased refining efficiency, has become possible due to implementation of production improvement programs, revamps of the existing units and introduction of new up-to-date technologies.

In 2010 the work on reequipment  of oil tanks (removal of oil sludge and full repair and reconstruction of crude oil tank 301/2 with a capacity of 50,000 m3) was continued, the catalyst was replaced, purchased, and installed new plate heat exchanger of the reformer unit. 
 
PKOP is the largest tax payer in South Kazakhstan Oblast. Based on results of its activities in 2010, PKOP paid 65 million USD of taxes to the budget.
 
Significant funds are allocated by PKOP for social projects and charity. The sponsorship provided by PKOP is mainly focused on the support of sport, educational and cultural events in SKO, assistance provided for children, old people and poor citizens of the region, as well as implementation of programs providing social support for employees and former employees of the company.
