Oil production at the Tengiz field has been fully restored, Tengizchevroil CEO Billy Lacobie told members of parliament, Orda.kz reports, citing Reuters.
Tengiz accounts for about 40 % of Kazakhstan’s total oil output. Production was halted on January 18 after electrical equipment caught fire. On January 31, the Ministry of Energy announced the start of recovery work, and volumes have now returned to normal.
The shutdown was caused by a transformer fire between gas turbine generators at the third-generation plant. TCO then suspended production at Tengiz and Korolevskoye as a precaution.
Another incident occurred at Tengiz on March 11, when equipment at the third-generation plant caught fire. No one was injured, and the blaze was contained within half an hour, but the plant’s operations were temporarily suspended.
