About Atyrau
Located on the banks of the Ural River, Atyrau is Kazakhstan's energy capital and the gateway to the country's largest oil and gas developments, including the Tengiz, Kashagan and Karachaganak fields. Situated on the border of Europe and Asia, the city is home to the regional headquarters of many international energy companies and serves as the centre of Kazakhstan's upstream petroleum industry.
