Kazakh Energy Ministry: Full Stoppage of CPC Not Under Consideration

Kazakhstan's energy ministry said on Saturday that a complete stoppage of the Caspian Pipeline Consortium's operations was not being considered and that the current situation was under control. The CEO of ⁠Chevron said on ⁠Friday that the pipeline is currently flowing and ships are loading this week, ⁠after CPC said it had suspended oil loadings on Thursday following a drone attack on a tanker. Chevron owns 50% of Tengizchevroil - the operator of the giant Tengiz oilfield and the ⁠major ⁠exporter via the CPC pipeline, which carries almost 2% of global oil and is the main route for Kazakhstan's oil exports.
