Exxon Mobil- (XOM) and Chevron-backed (CVX) Caspian Pipeline Consortium is seeing stable oil shipments following an alleged military strike on a maritime loading infrastructure, Reuters reported Tuesday, citing Kazakhstan's energy ministry.
The Russian defense ministry claimed Ukrainian forces hit the Novorossiysk transshipment complex, damaging a consortium mooring point and sparking fires at four fuel storage reservoirs, the news agency reported.
Kazakhstan Deputy Energy Minister Sungat Yesimkhanov confirmed that both the domestic energy sector and the joint venture's export activities are operating without disruption, Reuters reported.
Chevron, the Caspian Pipeline Consortium, and the Kazakhstan government didn't immediately respond to MT Newswires' requests for comment, while Exxon couldn't be reached.
