In 2016 PetroKazakhstan Oil Products LLP improved the efficiency of its manufacturing processes to increase its light oil product yield. It’s worth noting that without downtime in its core operations the refinery is intensively rolling out its Modernization and Reconstruction Project with construction of new process lines.
The PKOP Shymkent Refinery Modernization and Reconstruction Project is being implemented in 2 stages:
Stage 1 is aimed at achieving the production of motor fuels to K4 and K5 environmental standards in accordance with the Technical Regulation of the Customs Union. 
Stage 1 includes reconstruction of the existing Diesel Hydrotreater, and construction of a Sulfur Plant and an Isomerization Unit. The Diesel Hydrotreater reconstruction and the Sulfur Plant construction were finished in 2015. 
The construction of the Isomerization Unit with relevant offsite facilities is being completed at the moment.
Stage 2 is aimed at increasing the refinery throughput to 6 million tons per year and the oil conversion rate. This stage is most complex from technological point of view and includes a Catalytic Cracker complex. The construction of these sites is going at a fast pace.
The ultimate goal of the Modernization Project is to convert to production of oil products to EURO-4 and EURO-5 standards and to increase the conversion rate and light product yield.HSE
In 2016 the Corporate HSSE Department updated the Corporate HSE Risk Assessment Procedure and ran a pilot test on it at one of the Company’s production sites. All hazardous production sites of PetroKazakhstan have undergone a fire safety audit, which resulted in 16 positive opinions releasing the Company sites from routine fire safety inspections for a three-year period. The behavioral safety audit (BSA) results recording and analysis process has been automated. BSAs at PKKR are conducted using off-line forms which are further registered and analyzed in an SAP module.
In the past year 26 employees of PetroKazakhstan got awards under the Employee Award Program for Reported Near Misses, Unsafe Conditions and Acts. 
PKKR continued the work on the Korgau Project: a Risk Management Subcommittee was established, and a BSA Implementation Methodology Guide was issued and distributed. The Central Safety Committee meets on a regular basis. During the HSE month there was a competition The Best Workshop in the HSE Area, and prior to the Fire Safety Day there was a competition on the following subject: “It’s easier to prevent a fire, then to fight it”. 
Based on results of 2016 PKOP LLP’s HSE Management System (MS) was recognized as meeting the requirements of international standards ISO 9001:2008, ISO 14001:2004 and OHSAS 18001:2007. For the purpose of enhancing the HSE MS the refinery is continuing to implement the Aman Project for the implementation of an HSE integrated management structure.
Greenhouse gas inventory was completed and greenhouse gas emission certificates were obtained for all PetroKazakhstan sites. 
PKKR JSC started the project for expanding the solid domestic waste landfill at Kumkol field and electrifying the solid domestic waste landfill at Aryskum field. 30 tons of low-radioactive waste has been taken out for recycling. 
In 2016 PKOP LLP became a winner of the Paryz annual republican contest for business social responsibility where the refinery was recognized as the best in the nomination For Contribution to Ecology. The solemn winner award ceremony was attended by the Head of the State Nursultan Nazarbayev.
The refinery operates a system monitoring contaminant emissions to the environment, and carries out biological reclamation of contaminated soils on a permanent basis. Recycling of secondary oil refining waste (oil sludge) and pyrophoric compounds has been implemented. PKOP LLP signed a memorandum for business social responsibility in the region, under which every year refinery people plant trees in the refinery buffer zone. In 2016 the number of planted trees reached 908.
