Kazakhstan Eyes Expanded Routes for Oil Exports in 2024

Kazakhstan aims to boost its oil exports through the trans-Caspian corridor and to Germany via the Druzhba pipeline, despite potential complications with Russian transit approvals.
The country experienced a 10% increase in oil exports in 2023, reaching over 70 million tons, but saw a 10% drop in revenue due to declining oil prices.
Concerns arise over the Caspian Pipeline Consortium as a Turkish terminal refuses oil deliveries to avoid US sanctions, highlighting the geopolitical complexities affecting Kazakhstan’s export strategies.
