Kazakhstan to launch BTC exports in 2011
Kazakhstan will export its oil to Europe through the
Baku-Tbilisi-Ceyhan (BTC) main export pipeline from 2011, the
Kazakh ambassador to Azerbaijan said.
Serik Primbetov told reporters that Astana was considering beefing up oil production to use the BTC pipeline. He said the Kazakh government planned to export annually 25 million tons of oil produced from its giant Kashagan field via the pipeline. Agreement to that end was reached after the signing of a document on Kazakhstan`s joining the BTC project by Azerbaijani President Ilham Aliyev and his Kazakh counterpart Nursultan Nazarbayev.
