The KazTransOil oil transportation company plans a test shipment of 7,000 tons of oil from the Kashagan oil field through Aktau seaport to Baku port this month, reported the company’s press service.
The oil shipper is INPEX North Caspian Sea, which has been participating in developing the Kashagan oil field and other oil fields with project partners under the North Caspian Production Sharing Agreement (NCPSA) since November 1997.
Kazakh Energy Minister Bolat Akchulakov in November last year said that Kazakhstan plans to increase oil exports using alternative routes, including through Azerbaijan, to 6-6.5 million tons.
The shipments, however, were halted after a severe earthquake in Türkiye, which damaged the Ceyhan oil terminal, hampering the start of the planned shipment of Kazakh oil through the Baku-Tbilisi-Ceyhan route.
