Lukoil Oil Company opened the first gas station in Kazakhstan, which operates on a franchise basis. This is in principle Lukoil's first gas station in the country - before that, the company had only upstream projects in Kazakhstan and in the CPC. Almaty gas station has been selling Russian-made Ai-100 gasoline, local Ai-92 gasoline and diesel fuel, as well as the improved Ai-95 EKTO brand since last week.
