摘要

Oil production is booming in Kazakhstan,which has been more successful in attracting foreign oil investors than other former-Soviet republics.Output is expected to climb from 47 m tonnes in 2002 to reach 50m-52m tonnes this year.Ambitious targets call for production to rise to 100 m tonnes in 2010 and to 150m tonnes in 2015,writes lsabel Gorst.
