Kazakhstan is gradually implementing the Risk-Based Inspection (RBI) methodology for pipeline systems, which involves technical assessments based on risk factors, Trend reports via the Kazakh government. This was announced by Kazakhstan’s Minister of Energy, Yerlan Akkenzhenov, during an interim meeting of the Foreign Investors' Council, chaired by Prime Minister Olzhas Bektenov. He noted that currently, RBI methodology is undergoing practical and pilot testing and is being applied at oil refineries as well as in several oil and gas companies. "The systematic application of RBI methodology at our refineries—Atyrau, Pavlodar, and Shymkent—has shown the effectiveness of the risk-based approach. Risk-Based Inspection (RBI) for pipelines is a systematic approach that allocates inspection resources to high-risk zones by evaluating the probability of failure and the consequences of failure.
