Kazakhstan has suffered significant losses in oil exports as a result of attacks on the infrastructure of the Caspian Pipeline Consortium (CPC), with total export shortfalls reaching approximately 3.8 million tons. This was announced by Kazakhstan’s Minister of Energy, Yerlan Akkenzhenov.

According to him, nearly 1 million tons of oil were not delivered due to the temporary suspension of operations at the Tengiz and Korolevskoye oil fields following attacks on tankers. Production at both fields has now been partially restored, with the restart proceeding in stages in line with technological requirements.

“We expect Tengiz to be fully operational within a week,” the minister said.

In addition, the incidents near CPC facilities have led to a sharp increase in vessel insurance costs, further complicating Kazakhstan’s oil export operations.
