ASTANA, Kazakhstan, December 10. Kazakhstan has
agreed to redirect 58,000 tons of oil from the Caspian Pipeline
Consortium (CPC) pipeline system through the port of Aktau to
Baku-Tbilisi-Ceyhan (BTC), Trend reports via KazTransOil.
"The increase in oil supplies to export destinations in December
2025 compared to the initial transportation schedule approved by
the Ministry of Energy of the Republic of Kazakhstan is as follows:
Atyrau - Samara - by 232,000 tons; China – by 72,000 tons; the port
of Aktau (in the direction of Baku – Tbilisi – Ceyhan) – by 58,000
tons," the information says.
The company noted that the deliveries were agreed with
international partners and shippers.
In addition, during December 2025, the company will provide oil
companies with the opportunity to temporarily store oil in the tank
farm for safekeeping.
On November 29, at 06:06 Astana time, CPC’s marine
infrastructure facilities at the port of Novorossiysk were targeted
by unmanned vessels. The attack caused significant damage to the
VPU-2 remote mooring device, which has since been taken out of
service pending comprehensive repair and restoration.
CPC transports crude oil from three major Kazakhstani fields:
Tengiz, Kashagan, and Karachaganak. In 2024, the transhipment
volume reached approximately 63 million tons of oil.
