ASTANA, Kazakhstan, December 15. Kazakhstan is
currently assessing the damages following an attack on the Caspian
Pipeline Consortium (CPC), Energy Minister Yerlan Akkenzhenov said
at a press conference, Trend reports.


On November 29, at 06:06 Astana time, unmanned vessels targeted
CPC’s marine infrastructure facilities at the port of Novorossiysk.
The attack resulted in significant damage to the VPU-2 remote
mooring device, which has since been taken out of service for
comprehensive repair and restoration.


In response to the attack, Kazakhstan has increased its oil
supplies through alternative pipelines: Atyrau–Samara: +232,000
tons; China: +72,000 tons; Port of Aktau (toward
Baku-Tbilisi-Ceyhan): +58,000 tons.







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.
