BP TO FLOW KAZAKH OIL THROUGH BTC PIPELINE
Baku, 09 0ctober ,(AzerTAj)BP PLC plans to begin shipping oil from Kazakhstan's Tengiz oil field via the 1,770-km Baku-Tbilisi-Ceyhan (BTC) pipeline beginning later this month.
BP said the oil would be transported by barge from Kazakhstan to Azerbaijan and then
loaded into the 1 million b/d BTC pipeline, with exports from Ceyhan expected to
begin in mid-November.
It will ship up to 2 million tones/year of oil—possibly rising to 5 million
tones/year—by barge across the Caspian Sea to Azerbaijan and onward by rail across
Georgia to export terminals on the Black Sea.
