MOSCOW, March 17 (Reuters) - The Caspian Pipeline

Consortium (CPC) has transported 13.5 million metric tonnes of

oil via the Tengiz-Novorossiisk pipeline system since the start

of 2025 as of March 11, the CPC said on Monday.

A drone strike hit a pumping station on the pipeline in

southern Russia in February, reducing flows of oil from

Kazakhstan to world markets pumped by Western firms, including

Chevron ( CVX ) and Exxon Mobil ( XOM ).
