Abstract: Located in the hinterland of Central Asia, Kazakhstan is the largest country in oil and gas resources in Central Asia area, and the oil and gas industry is its pillar industry of the national economy. In recent years, Kazakhstan has taken measures to enhance the level of its oil and gas industry development by attracting foreign investment, technological innovation, merger and acquisition, etc. Over the past decade, the total oil?gas production of Kazakhstan increased by 6 times. In 2011, the production of crude oil, condensate and natural gas reached 8 006×104 t and 395×108 m3, respectively. With the tension of oil resources supply, rising of oil prices and increase of domestic gas demand, Kazakhstan modified resources law and promulgated natural gas law. These more pragmatic policies aim to continually strengthen the regulation and utilization of oil and gas resources, safeguard the interests of the country. Based on the development status and prospect analysis of the natural gas industry of Kazakhstan, the proposals for Sino?Kazakhstan cooperation in oil and natural gas are given in this paper
