ASTANA, Kazakhstan, January 16. About 63.5 million tons of oil were shipped at the sea terminal of the Caspian Pipeline Consortium (CPC) in 2023, which is a record figure in the entire history of the Consortium’s activities, Trend reports.
Of this volume, Kazakhstan's oil accounted for 56 million tons, while 7.4 million tons accounted for Russia.
This was stated during a meeting between Chairman of the Board of KazMunayGas JSC (Kazakhstan's national oil and gas company) Magzum Mirzagaliyev and General Director of CPC Nikolay Gorban.
At the same time, during the meeting, the parties discussed plans for 2024.
"I would like to express my gratitude to our partners for the measures taken to repair the remote mooring device at the CPC terminal in 2023. This made it possible to remove restrictions on the throughput of the pipeline system. In addition, we worked together to supply two systems of remote mooring devices for CPC-R in 2026," Mirzagaliyev noted.
