In December 2010, the construction of the Beineu — Bozoi — Shymkent gas pipeline was started, designed to transport gas from the fields of western Kazakhstan to supply natural gas to the south of the republic, as well as export gas supplies to the Kazakhstan -China gas pipeline. The length of the gas pipeline will be almost 1.5 thousand kilometers, the estimated cost of construction is $3.6 billion, the estimated service life is 30 years. With the commissioning of the new gas pipeline, gas supply volumes will increase five times in the Kyzylorda region, 3-4 times in South Kazakhstan, Zhambyl and Almaty regions. At the first stage (until 2012), it is planned to build the Bozoi — Shymkent section with a capacity of 5 billion cubic meters per year, at the second stage (2013-2014) - to increase the capacity of the gas pipeline to 10 billion cubic meters per year by commissioning additional compressor stations and the Beineu — Bozoi section.

The mining industry with a focus on crude oil production is the dominant industry in the Kyzylorda region.

Significant reserves of non-ferrous and rare earth metals (vanadium — 66%, uranium — 14.7%, zinc — 16.4%, lead — 11.1%) provide opportunities for diversification of the region's economy.

Points of economic concentration are the city of Kyzylorda, Zhanakorgan and Shieli districts.
