The Chairman of the Board of KazMunayGas Magzum Mirzagaliyev visited the port of Ceyhan, Turkey, and got acquainted with the process of shipment of Kazakh oil for the Petromidia oil refinery located in Romania and owned by KMG. This was reported by the press service of KMG.
“Today we are attending a significant event for the domestic oil and gas industry. After all, it is no coincidence that the head of state pays such close attention to the development of new routes for the supply of Kazakh oil. In this vein, it is gratifying that our agreements with the Azerbaijani company SOCAR have moved into the plane of practical implementation. This speaks of good prospects for further building up our cooperation,” Magzum Mirzagaliyev noted during the ceremony of the start of shipment.
The head of KMG also thanked the management of Tengizchevroil, who were present at the event, for the successful series of negotiations on the terms of transportation through the Baku-Tbilisi-Ceyhan oil pipeline.
It should be noted that the first batch of oil with a volume of 80 thousand tonnes from the Ceyhan terminal is transported by the ALATAU domestic tanker, owned by Kazmortransflot (a subsidiary of KMG), which will proceed in the direction of the Romanian port of Constanta with unloading for the Petromidia refinery.
A five-year agreement on the transit of oil along the Aktau-Baku-Ceyhan route in an annual volume of 1.5 million tonnes was signed between KazMunayGas and Azerbaijan's SOCAR at the end of last year. In March of this year, shipments of Kazakh oil began in the Aktau-Baku direction. The Kazakh and Azerbaijani fleets are involved in the transportation on a parity basis. As of April 20, 86 thousand tonnes were shipped from the port of Aktau.
