BAKU, Azerbaijan, September 14. The Caspian
Pipeline Consortium (CPC) has completed several infrastructure
upgrade works at its marine terminal near Novorossiysk.
This was announced in a statement published by the press service
of the CPC.
“In August-September, installation, commissioning and trial
operation of the new CPC-2 single-point mooring unit were completed
in the waters of the Caspian Pipeline Consortium’s marine terminal
near Novorossiysk,” the company said.
Meanwhile, construction and installation works have started at
the Komsomolskaya oil pumping station as part of a program to
replace gas-turbine-driven mainline pumping units with electrically
driven units.
The Caspian Pipeline Consortium (CPC) is a major international
oil transportation project involving Russia, Kazakhstan and leading
oil-producing companies. It was established to construct and
operate a pipeline system stretching 1,511 kilometers.
The pipeline primarily receives crude oil from the large oil
fields of western Kazakhstan, as well as from Russian producers.
The oil is transported to the company's Marine Terminal in Yuzhnaya
Ozereyevka near Novorossiysk, where it is loaded onto tankers for
shipment to global markets.
Around 80% of Kazakhstan's oil exports are transported through
the CPC pipeline system.
Meanwhile, KazTransOil increased the volume of oil transshipped
into the CPC-K system by 39% year-on-year to 3.123 million tons in
January-August 2026, according to the company.
A series of attacks on CPC infrastructure occurred in April,
July and September 2026, increasing attention to the security of
Kazakhstan’s oil export routes and the need to diversify
transportation options.
