OIL: First Oil Shipment from Kashagan to Azerbaijan Leaves
OIL
Kazakhstan’s Kashagan oil field has sent its first oil shipment to Azerbaijan’s Baku KazMunayGas said on Monday.
- It comes as Kazakhstan seeks to reduce its reliance on transit via Russia.
- "The Kazakh tanker Taraz with Kashagan oil left the port of Aktau for Baku," the company said in a statement on Telegram. "The oil will then be transported via the Baku-Tbilisi-Ceyhan (BTC) pipeline system to the Mediterranean Sea."
- An agreement to phase in higher exports via Azerbiajan was signed in March last year.
