Tengiz oil will be pumped via Baku-Tbilisi-Ceyhan pipeline from the second quarter of 2007, Trend reports with reference to SOCAR.
В"Delay in Kashagan field development will not affect BTC loading with Kazakh oilВ", SOCAR representative said.
However, oil production at Kashagan may influence BTC Co future plans on extension of BTC pipeline. В"BTC throughput, depending on investments amount, might be raised by 20-30, even 50 percent. However, such decision depends on oil production at KashaganВ", he added..
This project, he added, calls for agreement between Kazakh investors (Aktau-Baku project) and governments of Azerbaijan and Kazakhstan.
