Kazakhstan discusses raising oil exports via BTC pipeline to 7 million tonnes a year

Kazakhstan and Azerbaijan are discussing the possibility of increasing supplies of Kazakh oil through the Baku–Tbilisi–Ceyhan (BTC) pipeline to 7 million tonnes a year. The Caspian crossing and the BTC pipeline give Kazakh crude access to the Mediterranean Sea.

In 2025, 1.3 million tonnes were transported along this route. Kazinform's own correspondent in Baku looked into how the planned increase in volumes is to be achieved.

The report also covers the tasks that must be resolved to reach the target figure. The article was prepared by Kazinform's correspondent in Baku.
