MOSCOW, Dec 19 (Reuters) - Black Sea CPC Blend oil
exports via the Caspian Pipeline Consortium (CPC) pipeline
system are set to stay at 1.43 million barrels per day (bpd) in
January, unchanged from the December plan, two sources familiar
with the matter told Reuters.
Meanwhile, CPC Blend oil loadings in December may be below
the planned 1.43 million bpd volume due to lower than planned
output from Kazakhstan's biggest oil field Tengiz, operated by
U.S. major Chevron ( CVX ), the sources said.
The CPC consortium doesn't comment on monthly loadings.
Output from Tengiz remained 20% below its scheduled plan on
average in December, helping Kazakhstan to comply with its OPEC+
output target, Reuters estimates based on Kazakh energy ministry
data and analysis service SAC TEK showed.
