"Participants of the Kashagan project informed the Oil and Gas Minister about that period of implementation of the second phase of the Kashagan field is transferred to 2018-2019," Kabildin said.
According to him, launch of realization of the Caspian Oil Transport Systems (CCST) also automatically postponed.
