Government discusses Kazakh oil transportation

The Kazakhstan section of the Caspian Pipeline Consortium (CPC) is set to increase oil throughput to 72.5 million tons per year, with the technical capacity already in place. A new bypass connecting the pipeline to a domestic pumping station has been built and commissioned. CPC General Director Nikolay Gorban shared this update during a meeting with the Prime Minister. The parties also reviewed progress on key investment programs and the modernization of the Tengiz–Novorossiysk pipeline. As noted at the meeting, the CPC’s marine terminal is expected to ship its one-billionth ton of oil in October.
