Chevron has had sustained success operating in Kazakhstan since entering the market in 1993 after the country gained independence. Chevron operates stakes in Kazakhstan's two largest oil fields through joint ventures with the national oil company. Chevron extracts over 291,000 barrels of oil per day in Kazakhstan and plans to increase output. Its experience working with the Kazakh government and overcoming voids like lack of infrastructure provides lessons for operating in other emerging markets like South Sudan.
