ALMATY, March 26 (Reuters) - Kazakhstan's state energy
company Kazmunaygas said one new single-point mooring (SPM) unit
for the Caspian Pipeline Consortium (CPC) would be delivered
shortly, Interfax reported on Thursday.
The CPC accounts for about 80% of Kazakhstan's oil exports.
Its operations have been disrupted at various points in the
Ukraine war by Ukrainian attacks on pumping stations in Russia
and by drone strikes on its loading terminal near Novorossiysk
on Russia's Black Sea coast.
The terminal, which handles 80% of Kazakhstan's crude
exports and about 1.5% of global oil supply, currently has three
SPMs of which two are normally operational and one is used as a
back-up.
