illegal taps in the KPO export pipelines

Following the results of activity of the Security and Industrial Relations Department in 2021, 992 violations were found, and 17 internal investigations were conducted. These included four applications, which were submitted to law-enforcement agencies.

During 2021, KPO revealed and prevented cases of unauthorized removal / relocation of KPO and contractors’ assets worth approx. KZT 40 mln.

Employees of the security company providing complex security services on the export pipelines have rendered assistance to the WQO law-enforcement agencies in detaining persons who illegally crossed the RoQ Border.

The use of the new Sintela security software has significantly increased overall monitoring quality, including more precise threat identification and improvement of patrolling.

During force-majeure and state of emergency in January 2022, the Company has implemented a number of measures to improve security at the operational facilities, such as:

safe transportation of KPO and contractors’ personnel between Aksai and KPO facilities;
additional measures were taken to ensure security on sites, including increase of security personnel at the posts and the security check points, strengthening of access control, temporary blocking/closing off the access roads, relocation of mobile patrol teams, mobilization of the rapid response teams;
action plan to prevent destabilization of public order in partnership with law-enforcement agencies and public authorities.
