The Caspian Pipeline Consortium (CPC) could boost the volume of pumping oil from 67 million tonnes per year to 81.5 million tonnes per year, the Kazakh government's press service said.
"The technical capability has currently been enabled to boost pumping from 67 million tonnes per year to 81.5 million tonnes per year, including on the Kazakh section from 53.7 million tonnes per year to 72.5 million tonnes per year," the press release reads.
The government also said that implementing the project to eliminate the CPC pipeline bottleneck in October this year would increase the total volume of shipped oil to 1 billion tonnes.
Restoration work and commissioning the Kropotkinskaya oil pumping station were completed. The CPC and KazTransOil jointly implemented the project in 2024 to construct and connect a new jumper between the CPC oil pipeline and KazTransOil's Kasymov oil pumping station.
