Kazakhstan is looking for more ways to move its oil as Russia, its principal export outlet, faces repeated disruptions.
Damage to the Caspian Pipeline Consortium’s Black Sea terminal in November 2025 suppressed exports into early 2026. Recent attacks on tankers in July also threatened roughly 1.5 million barrels per day.
The disruptions have highlighted the vulnerability of Kazakhstan’s current export strategy and prompted Astana to seek additional ways to transport its oil.
