XLE•Kazakhstan oil output falls after export terminal closure
MOSCOW, July 27 (Reuters) - Kazakhstan, among the world's 10 biggest oil producers, has more than halved its daily oil output following the closure of main exporting terminal in Russia's Black Sea over drone attacks, an industry source said on Monday.
Kazakhstan's energy ministry said last week oil companies had reduced output due to export constraints, saying that Caspian Pipeline Consortium pipeline loading operations had been suspended for safety reasons.
It did not reveal the scale of production cuts.
Source says output dropped to around 1 million barrels per day
The industry source said oil and gas condensate production in Kazakhstan more than halved on Sunday from the average June levels to 133,200 metric tons, or around 1 million barrels per day, from 2.16 million bpd.
Kazakhstan's energy ministry did not immediately reply to a request for comment on the recent data.
