Managing Director of the oil and gas sector and ecology of NCE RK “Atameken” Muratbek Makhanov took part in the PetroCatering&FM 2023 Forum-Exhibition, dedicated to one of the most important areas – catering and FM (catering and facility maintenance) in the oil and gas industry, which was held in Atyrau.
The Forum was attended by representatives of more than 400 companies from all regions of Kazakhstan, who took an active part in discussing current issues of catering and management of industry facilities. The event brought together key players in the oil and gas and oilfield services markets.
The event was organized by the Council for the Development of Strategic Partnerships in the Oil and Gas Industry “Petrocouncil.kz”. As Gibrat Sarsenov, Chairman of the Presidium of the Petrocouncil Oil and Gas Council, noted in his welcoming speech, today Petrocouncil is in fact one of the main and reliable platforms for developing interaction between oil and gas operators, SME companies, as well as government bodies, with the goal of developing and increasing local content. The Council works closely with oil and gas companies, operators, as well as various stakeholders in the region on the most pressing areas of the oil and gas industry, the problems and solutions of which are openly discussed at industry forums and seminars organized by Petrocouncil.
According to Muratbek Makhanov, managing director of the oil and gas sector and ecology of NCE RK “Atameken”, about 5 thousand people are employed on a permanent basis in the field of catering services in the oil and gas sector.
“Their competent work makes an important contribution to the implementation of large-scale projects, because food is a basic necessary need for any person and especially for shift workers engaged in heavy physical labor. I would like to note the high quality standards of food services that have emerged in this industry thanks to the strict requirements of operating companies and the contractors and subcontractors who have accepted this responsibility. Today, food safety, quality and freshness of products, as well as proper transportation and storage have become unshakable operating principles for industry leaders,” emphasized the representative of Atameken NCE.
He also noted that one of the problems existing today is insufficient quality feedback from subsoil users based on the results of tenders.
