Kazakhstan Restarts CPC Oil Exports After Week-Long Black Sea Shutdown<\/span><\/p>\n

\n

Kazakhstan has resumed crude exports through the Caspian Pipeline Consortium (CPC) on Monday after the operator reopened its Black Sea marine terminal and resumed accepting crude from producers following a week-long suspension triggered by drone attacks, Kazakhstan\u2019s <\/span>Astana Times<\/span><\/a> reported.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Two tankers were loading crude from the Chevron-led Tengizchevroil project at the Novorossiysk terminal, while producers resumed delivering oil into the CPC pipeline system, Kazakhstan\u2019s Energy Ministry said according to OilPrice.com<\/a>. The ministry added that export operations would continue subject to ongoing security assessments.<\/span><\/p>\n

The reopening follows last week\u2019s suspension of crude intake and tanker loadings at the terminal after <\/span>repeated drone attacks<\/span><\/a><\/strong> on vessels operating at or near the facility<\/strong>. Kazakhstan subsequently ordered producers to curb output to prevent storage facilities from filling after access to the export system was cut off.<\/span><\/p>\n

Industry data cited by <\/span>Reuters<\/span><\/a> showed Kazakhstan\u2019s oil and gas condensate production fell to 133,200 metric tons, or about 1 million barrels per day, on Sunday, down from an average 2.16 million bpd in June.<\/span><\/p>\n

CPC separately confirmed pipeline operations resumed at 12:28 p.m. Moscow time. The ministry did not indicate how quickly production would return to normal levels.<\/span><\/p>\n

The 1,500-kilometer CPC pipeline transports crude from Kazakhstan\u2019s giant Tengiz oilfield across southern Russia to the Black Sea port of Novorossiysk and carries more than 80% of Kazakhstan\u2019s crude exports. International producers including Chevron and ExxonMobil rely on the route to move Tengiz production to global markets.<\/span><\/p>\n

The Chevron-chartered Suezmax tanker <\/span>Asia<\/strong> was also positioned at the terminal on Monday, according to LSEG vessel-tracking data cited by Reuters. Chevron said it continues to monitor the situation at CPC but declined to comment further, the company told Reuters directly.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

The disruption briefly removed more than 1 million bpd of Kazakh production from the market<\/strong>, adding another supply risk as global oil flows remain under pressure from disruptions affecting both the Black Sea and Middle East shipping routes.\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n
