Tengiz shutdown drags on: Chevron-led Kazakhstan oilfield seen offline for 7–10 more days
Kazakhstan’s Tengiz and Korolev oilfields have been offline since Jan. 18 after power failures, halting production and forcing the cancellation of at least five CPC Blend export cargoes. Industry sources say Tengiz may remain shut for another week or more. Other fields have raised output, but further cuts to CPC pipeline throughput are possible if repairs drag on. No injuries were reported after two fires at a power plant supplying Tengiz.
