  • Kazakhstan and Chevron: The Deal of the Century.


    Today we're going into the complex, high-stakes world of post-Soviet energy. Explore how Chevron secured a massive $20 billion joint venture in Kazakhstan, home to some of the world's largest oil fields like Tengiz, Karachaganak, and Kashagan.

    Learn about the pivotal and controversial American figure, James Giffen, who served as counselor to Kazakhstan's President Nazarbayev. He played a central role in brokering enormous oil deals for U.S. companies during a time of immense change, leveraging his deep connections.

    These weren't just business transactions; they involved navigating challenging technical issues like high pressure and hydrogen sulfide, alongside allegations of corruption and a major U.S. investigation known as "Kazakhgate." Discover how U.S. laws like the Foreign Corrupt Practices Act intersected with international diplomacy, power struggles, and the geopolitical significance of Central Asia's vast energy resources.
