'''KazTransOil JSC''' ({{KASE|KZTO}}) is the national oil transporter in [[Kazakhstan]] accounting to 53% of all oil transported in the country. The company operates more than 8000&nbsp;km of oil pipelines and 3,140&nbsp;km of water pipelines. KazTransOil is a subsidiary of [[KazMunayGas]], the national oil and gas company of [[Kazakhstan]].

==Rating==
In July 2012, [[Standard & Poor’s]] assessed KazTransOil’s [[SACP]] at “bb+”, on the basis of their opinion of its “satisfactory” business risk profile and “significant” financial risk profile. KazTransOil’s stand-alone credit quality is supported by long-term ship-or-pay contracts with oil producers, the company’s favourable debt structure and maturity profile, limited competition from alternative oil export pipelines, and good prospects for oil production and export in Kazakhstan. KazTransOil benefits from low transportation costs and a strong market position in Kazakhstan because of its vast pipeline system. KazTransOil distributes more than 57% of Kazakhstan’s total oil exports. The rating is constrained by significant dependence on Russian pipeline operator OAO AK Transneft (BBB/Stable/--), construction risk related to pipeline capacity expansion projects, an opaque tariff regime and irregular tariff revisions, and operational risk due to aging assets.<ref>{{cite news|title=Standard & Poor’s assess KazTransOil’s SACP at "bb+"|url=http://www.satrapia.com/news/article/standard-poors-assess-kaztransoils-sacp-at-bb/|accessdate=9 August 2012|newspaper=The Gazette of Central Asia|date=24 July 2012|publisher=Satrapia}}</ref>
