The Caspian Pipeline Consortium (CPC) continues to export Kazakhstan's oil from Tengiz following a drone attack on its Kropotkinskaya station in Russia's Krasnodar Territory, but export volumes could decrease by 30%.
Transportation of oil via the Tengiz-Novorossiysk pipeline system is carried out, bypassing the stopped NPS. The shipment of raw materials for export at the sea terminal continues in the normal mode, the company said in a statement.
The damage assessment from Russia's Transneft, a CPC shareholder, revealed significant infrastructure damage:
The roof was destroyed, the closed switchgear, the gas turbine unit (GTU) were damaged, cables and cable racks, a water tank were also damaged, two transformers, filters and the GTU fire extinguishing system were destroyed.
CPC officials estimate repairs will take between 1.5 to 2 months.
The station, which handled over 63 million tons of oil last year, with about 90% coming from Kazakhstan, was struck by seven drones on February 17.
The consortium's CEO, Nikolai Gorban, has ordered enhanced security measures during repairs while maintaining export operations through alternative routes.
