From March 16 to April 15, a state of emergency was declared in the country due to the coronavirus pandemic. For this reason, many Kazakhs have switched to remote work. KazTransOil was no exception, because the company’s main concern was to protect the health of its employees and ensure the smooth transportation of oil.

As the chief Manager of the Treasury Department Irina Strokova says, the quarantine did not stop the main activities of the Department. «In the usual mode, only online, we carry out all the work of the payment sector. And most importantly, we make all payments to the company's contractors in both national and foreign currency.The work on the quarantine continues in full, there are no changes, « says Irina. At the same time, Chief Manager of the Transportation Department Asel Nurkeyeva from home solves production issues with Russian colleagues from Transneft.
The company also has virtual conference rooms that allow videoconferencing of up to 100 employees from any digital device (telephone, laptop, personal computer). Electronic digital signature with possibility of authentication through QR code for internal and external correspondence has been introduced.
Kaztransoil’s office in Nur- Sultan is the heart of oil transportation through oil pipelines in 11 regions of Kazakhstan. From there, the General Dispatch Office manages the complex oil-pumping process on-line 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. And this work cannot be done remotely. Therefore, for maximum protection from external contacts, dispatchers have been moved to a separate back-up room for work.
