Start of DEPC has been predetermined by reality of overall development tendencies in energy sector, for most part oil and gas industry, and in accompanying markets involved in supplying products and providing services in Western Kazakhstan.
Participants to this industry and the market have become witness to ever growing expansion and project upgrade in oil & gas industry, and energy sector in the overall, over the course of last 30 years. Expansion trends in the industry often have taken place in parallel with modernization of production assets and wide spread adoption of new technologies, methods and, of course, goods and services based on the like innovations. Along with the above said, transition of knowledge on new technologies and skills has been in place with the engineering and technical staff being the recipient of such in various companies and agencies. Knowledge and skills here are expressed in capability to assess pros and cons of various technologies, equipment, goods and services. Professional attitude and curiosity by many kazakhstani technical specialists in energy sector ventures of the country has turned out to be basis for further expansion of breadth of knowledge in understanding modern technology and its fields and subjects of application.
⠀⠀⠀⠀With certain degree of confidence it can now be stated that in the oil & gas industry of Kazakhstan a formation has definitely taken place that consists of group of people from multiple locations, not numerous, which has not organized itself in the form of association, union or agency supported by government or business society, but yet a meaningful group of people of various generations whom we may consider valuable and technically proficient specialists in many fields of production and engineering and research activities managed by oil & gas companies in Kazakhstan.
⠀⠀⠀⠀Despite the challenges of regional development within the scopes of local economy and personal development in terms of building intellectual potential and skill set, individual specialists keep accumulating professional toolbox of values and competencies via every possible opportunity both within the country and outside, and relentless attempts to undergo full scale training, accreditation, membership, upgrade programs, and participation in projects in the neighboring countries and beyond.
⠀⠀⠀⠀Recognizing how the above said perception of events in Kazakhstan correlates to establishment of DEPC, we, the DEPC personnel, would like to express solidarity and never ending gratitude to all enthusiasts in Kazakhstan involved in engineering sciences and fields of its application in the industries of Kazakhstan, for their colorful and noticeable presence in the content of core engineering and technical groups within mining and processing sectors of the industries in Kazakhstan.
