Kazakhstan said that U.S. oil major Chevron had assured the government it would take measures to ensure the reliable and safe operation of facilities at the Tengiz oilfield.
At a meeting with Derek Magness, managing director of Chevron's Eurasia Business Unit, Kazakhstan's First Deputy Prime Minister Roman Sklyar expressed concern about the incidents at the Tengiz field, which led to a temporary halt in production, the government said.
"Chevron management provided information on the measures taken to eliminate the consequences of the incidents and gradually increase oil production. Chevron management also assured that it would take specific actions to prevent similar situations in the future and ensure the reliable and safe operation of facilities," the statement reads.
Earlier, Kazakhstan said it was restarting the Tengiz oilfield in stages, aiming to reach full production in a week after three unexplained electrical fires earlier this month cost it 7.2 million barrels of oil.
