This, according to RIA Novosti, is stated in the message following the meeting of the head of the CPC, Nikolai Gorban, and the Minister of Energy of Kazakhstan, Bolat Akchulakov.

“Regarding the operational prospects for 2023, the CPC General Director noted that the consortium is fully prepared to transport increased volumes of hydrocarbon feedstock, taking into account the additional pipeline capacity already received from the implementation of the debottlenecking program,” the report says.

In November, it became known that the Caspian Pipeline Consortium had completed repairs at the second berth decommissioned earlier at an oil terminal in the Black Sea.

CPC stopped shipments from two TLU-1 and TLU-2 TLUs in August 2022 after cracks were discovered at these TLUs in the attachment points of the underwater sleeves to the buoyancy tanks.
