"From my visits to Tengiz, my meetings with TCO management and the Akimat in Atyrau, I know that TCO has a world-class sulfur management system", the American Diplomat said. British Ambassador considers that Kazakhstan and Great Britain are strategic partners in the field of absorption of energy resources. "Kazakhstan is very important for us. Our country has experience and professionalism in the development of technologies of oil and gas", he said. The Head of the British diplomatic mission noted that foreign companies discuss a project on establishment of a production on sulfur handling in Kazakhstan. Canadian Ambassador to Kazakhstan Margaret Skok called for our countries to address the issue of sulfur handling together. "We have necessary innovations and technologies.
