The volume of oil transported through the Caspian Pipeline Consortium (CPC) — including Kazakhstan's oil — is expected to reach 1 billion tonnes, according to discussions held on May 26 between Prime Minister Olzhas Bektenov and CPC General Director Nikolay Gorban, Orda.kz reports.
According to the government press service, Bektenov and Gorban discussed cooperation in oil transportation, implementation of investment projects, and the modernization of the Tengiz–Novorossiysk pipeline.
Gorban noted that repairs at the Kropotkinskaya station, which had been damaged in a Ukrainian drone attack earlier this year, have now been completed. As part of the joint efforts between CPC and KazTransOil JSC, a new segment connecting the pipeline to the T. Kasymov station has also been constructed and activated.
Plans are now in motion to significantly expand oil transit volumes.
There is technical capacity to increase throughput from 67 to 81.5 million tonnes per year, including growth on Kazakhstan's segment from 53.7 to 72.5 million tonnes annually. With the completion of the CPC Bottleneck Elimination Project scheduled for October 2025, total crude shipments are expected to reach 1 billion tonnes, the press release stated.
The meeting also touched on the CPC’s social commitments in Kazakhstan. In 2024, the consortium allocated 4.4 billion tenge toward social projects in the country, including the construction of a school in Atyrau.
In 2025, CPC plans further investments in educational and healthcare infrastructure.
