Kazakhstan is evaluating the Baku-Supsa oil route as a potential alternative for crude exports, prompted by temporary disruptions at the Caspian Pipeline Consortium (CPC) in July. The CPC restrictions led to a redirection of some Kazakh oil volumes, initially through the Aktau port and the Atasu-Alashankou pipeline to China. This situation has spurred Kazakhstan to explore further diversification of its export pathways to ensure continued oil delivery to international markets. The Baku-Supsa route, passing through Azerbaijan and Georgia, presents a viable option. This move aims to mitigate risks associated with reliance on a single export route and enhance Kazakhstan’s energy security. The consideration of this route highlights a proactive approach to managing potential logistical challenges in oil exports. Further details about capacity and agreements are yet to be announced.
