Kazakhstan's losses in oil production due to repairs at the marine terminal of the Caspian Pipeline Consortium (CPC) may amount to 300-350 thousand tons. This is reported by the publication EurAsiaDaily with a link to TASS.

"In general, we expected that losses (in production) could amount to up to 2 million tons. But due to the joint work of the government and our mining companies, in principle, the losses will amount, I think, to no more than 300-350 thousand tons," – said the Minister of Energy of Kazakhstan Bolat Akchulakov, answering the corresponding question of a journalist.

This, according to him, is not such a big loss in production that Kazakhstan will be able to make up for by the end of this year. "CPC has restored the work. During the period when there was an accident, almost the entire month of April, we tried to use any other alternative routes. We were able to redirect some significant volumes to other directions," the minister said.
