Kazakhstan aims to export about 79 million tonnes of crude next year from planned production of 99 million tonnes, after expected exports of about 77 million tonnes this year. Disruptions on the CPC route and the suspension of exports to Germany via Druzhba have constrained flows, while Kazakhstan is discussing increased shipments through Azerbaijan and the BTC pipeline.
The higher export target could add crude to global markets, but reliance on disrupted routes and uncertainty over expanding BTC shipments make the expected supply increase less certain.
