Kazakh-Russian oil line delayed

ALMATY - The opening ceremony of the Caspian Pipeline Consortium's
crude oil pipeline from Kazakhstan to Russia has been put back from August 6
and no new date has been set, a Kazakh government official said on
Thursday, according to Reuters.

The official said the Kazakh authorities had been officially notified of the delay
by CPC.

"Now it has been postponed. To what date is not known," he told Reuters. The
consortium's Moscow office was not immediately available for comment on
Wednesday morning.

The pipeline is the first linking Kazakhstan's vast crude reserves directly to
international markets.

The 1,510 km pipeline, with an initial capacity of 560,000 barrels per day,
connects Kazakhstan's huge Tengiz field with the Russian Black Sea port of
Novorossiisk, Reuters reports.

CPC told Reuters earlier this month that because of delays in getting the oil
from Tengiz to Novorossiisk, the first tanker would not load until the end of
August, although the opening ceremony had been set to go ahead on August 6
despite this.
