Kazakhstan is a major oil producer and continued development of its giant oilfields Tengiz, Karachaganak, and Kashagan will be key to its future oil production growth.

Short-Term Energy Outlook

Sep 11, 2012
Higher crude oil prices, refinery outages, a pipeline disruption, and concerns over Hurricane Isaac's impact on the Gulf Coast, the United States' major refining region, contributed to higher gasoline prices during August. EIA has increased the average regular-gasoline retail price forecast for the third quarter of 2012 to $3.66 per gallon from $3.49 per gallon in last month's Outlook. EIA expects retail gasoline prices to begin declining later this month as the gasoline market recovers and transitions from summer-grade to winter-grade gasoline specifications.
