Kazakhstan among top three oil exporters to EU

Kazakhstan ranked among the top three largest oil exporters to the European Union in 2024, having exported over one million barrels of oil per day. According to Eurostat, Kazakhstan secured third place, following the U.S. and Norway. Other major suppliers include Libya, Saudi Arabia, Iraq, Nigeria, Brazil, and the UK. In total, Kazakhstan exported around 70 million tonnes of crude oil in 2024 and plans to raise that figure to 70.5 million tonnes this year. An increase in oil production is also expected. In 2025, the country plans to produce over 96 million tonnes of oil. The growth is primarily attributed to the expansion project at the Tengiz oil field.
