KazTransOil CJSC informed of some of its results in first quarter of 2002

/IRBIS, Apr 26, 02/ - KazTransOil CJSC (Astana) distributed a message today where it gave some results of its activities in first quarter of 2002. Based on presented data, total volume of oil transportation through long- distance pipelines of KazTransOil CJSC in January-March 2002 equaled 7,089 th. tons. Compared to similar period of last year (7,726 th. tons) volume of transportation fell by 9%. Decline in transportation volume is explained by KazTransOil CJSC with the transportation of part of the oil from Tengiz field through CPC system. Turnover of oil during the reporting period equaled 5,845m ton-km. Total volume of water supply through waterways reached 3,782 th. cubic meters in this period. Decrease in water supplies is due to the transfer of assets of Atyrau administration of water preparation and water supply (AAWPS), which was previously a structural subdivision of the western branch of KazTransOil CJSC, to Atyrau region. The transfer of assets took place in December 2001. By preliminary data, during the first quarter of 2002 KazTransOil CJSC paid KZT1,629m to the budget, including: corporate income tax - KZT291m; individual income tax - KZT244m; social tax - KZT399m; property tax - KZT240m and others.
