ALMATY, April 3 (Reuters) - Output at Kazakhstan's giant

Kashagan oilfield was fully restored on April 2 after a brief

stoppage on April 1 caused by a fire or gas alarm which turned

out to be false, the field's operator said on Wednesday.

Sources told Reuters on Tuesday that output at the field,

one of Kazakhstan's largest, fell to 30,342 metric tons on April

1 from 52,390 tons a day earlier.
