- Oil Production refers to the total amount of crude oil extracted from underground reservoirs within a country during a given year, before any refining or processing takes place.
Kazakhstan Oil Production was 1.89 Million Barrels Daily in 2023, up 6.8% on 2022. The Oil Production dataset of Kazakhstan from 2015 to 2023 provides a comprehensive overview of the country's crude oil production, highlighting output trends, production levels, supply changes, industry performance, and annual market developments throughout the review period.
Kazakhstan Oil Production moved from 1.67 Million Barrels Daily in 2015 to 1.89 Million Barrels Daily in 2023 (+13.1%), an average of +1.6% a year. The series high was 1.90 Million Barrels Daily in 2019 and the low 1.64 Million Barrels Daily in 2016.
The gap between the series high (2019) and low (2016) is 0.266 Million Barrels Daily. The sharpest single-year move was +10.8% in 2017.
Among the 27 countries in this dataset, Kazakhstan ranks 10 for 2023, behind U.S. (19.36 Million Barrels Daily) and Saudi Arabia (11.39 Million Barrels Daily). It accounts for 2% of the global total in 2023.

Data definition
Oil Production — - Oil Production refers to the total amount of crude oil extracted from underground reservoirs within a country during a given year, before any refining or processing takes place. It is typically measured in thousand barrels per day (kb/d) and represents the output of crude petroleum from both conventional and unconventional sources. This indicator reflects a country’s upstream oil industry performance, resource availability, and role in global energy supply. It is widely used to assess production trends, energy security, and dependence on oil resources for economic development.
The data includes crude oil extracted from both onshore and offshore oil fields, covering production from conventional wells as well as unconventional sources such as tight oil and shale oil where applicable. It includes all crude oil produced at the wellhead before refining, processing, or blending. The indicator may also include lease condensate when reported as part of crude oil production in national energy statistics. Data is compiled from national energy agencies, oil companies, and standardized international energy databases, ensuring consistency in comparing production levels across countries and over time.
The data excludes refined petroleum products such as gasoline, diesel, jet fuel, kerosene, LPG, and other products derived from crude oil after refining. It does not include natural gas production, natural gas liquids (except where classified as condensate under crude oil reporting), biofuels, synthetic crude from coal-to-liquids or gas-to-liquids processes, or refinery gains. The indicator does not measure oil consumption, reserves, imports, exports, or refining capacity. Minor variations may arise due to differences in national reporting standards, classification of condensates, and estimation methodologies used across countries.

Measured in million barrels daily, the dataset reflects Kazakhstan's total crude oil production and serves as an important indicator of upstream development, production capacity, resource utilization, and energy sector performance. The dataset enables analysis of production trends, supply dynamics, and long-term developments, providing valuable insights into Kazakhstan's role as a leading oil producer in Central Asia.
Kazakhstan's oil production declined slightly from 1.67 million barrels daily in 2015 to 1.64 million in 2016, before increasing to 1.81 million in 2017, 1.90 million in 2018, and remaining at 1.90 million in 2019. Production eased to 1.80 million barrels daily in 2020, followed by a modest recovery to 1.81 million in 2021. Output slipped to 1.77 million in 2022 before rising to 1.89 million barrels daily in 2023, nearly matching the peak levels recorded before the pandemic. Overall production remained relatively stable, supported by continued development of major oil fields.
Overall, the dataset demonstrates resilient long-term oil production in Kazakhstan, with only limited fluctuations despite temporary market disruptions. The recovery achieved by 2023 reflects sustained upstream investment and stable production capacity across the country's major producing regions. The dataset serves as a valuable resource for monitoring oil production trends, evaluating supply conditions, supporting market analysis, forecasting future crude oil output, and enabling policymakers, researchers, investors, and industry stakeholders to develop effective energy strategies and long-term investment decisions.
