MOSCOW, April 1 (Reuters) - Kazakhstan's oil output
reached a record high in March with higher output from the giant
Tengiz oil field and stable exports via the Caspian pipeline,
further exceeding OPEC+ production quotas, two industry sources
said and Reuters calculations showed on Tuesday.
The country has repeatedly exceeded its OPEC+ quotas in
recent months and has promised to reduce output under pressure
from OPEC+ leaders Saudi Arabia and Russia.
Oil and gas condensate production in Kazakhstan reached 8.95
million metric tons in March, or 2.17 million barrels per day
(bpd), the sources said. That compared with 2.15 million bpd on
average in February, according to the state's Energy Ministry.
Kazakhstan's OPEC+ quota doesn't limit condensate
production, but crude oil output is meant to be set at 1.468
million bpd.
