CTC complained about the devastating consequences of the UAV attack

The Caspian Pipeline Consortium (CPC), which transported oil to the Novorossiysk terminals, announced the suspension of oil pumping stations.

The Caspian Pipeline Consortium made this statement on Telegram, Focus writes.

This year, UAVs have attacked the oil pipeline transporting oil from Kazakhstan to Novorossiysk three times. In particular, as a result of attacks on two oil pumping stations (OPS), oil transportation stopped.

These are the Kropotkinskaya and Kavkazskaya stations, which pumped oil through the pipeline from Kazakhstan and the Russian Federation to Novorossiysk in the Krasnodar Territory.

According to the Russians, the attacks first reduced the flow of oil through Kropotkinskaya, and after the destruction of Kavkazskaya, transportation stopped completely.

“After the shutdown of the Kropotkinskaya NPS due to a strike by Ukrainian UAVs, the estimated annual transportation volume from the specified point was reduced, and after the destruction of the Kavkazskaya NPS, it will be impossible in the near future,” the report says.

In particular, the CPC stated that companies from the Russian Federation, Kazakhstan, and the United States will lose money due to the shutdown of the stations. The consortium’s website indicates that the American company is Chevron Caspian Pipeline Consortium Company (15% of the shares), as well as LUKARCO B.V. (12.5%), Mobil Caspian Pipeline Company (7.5%), Rosneft-Shell Caspian Ventures Limited (7.5%), BG Overseas Holding Limited (2%), Eni International N.A. N.V. (2%), Oryx Caspian Pipeline LLC (1.75%).

Let us recall that the CPC pipeline system is one of the largest investment projects in the energy sector of Russia. The length of the Tengiz-Novorossiysk pipeline is 1,511 km. This route transports a significant portion of raw materials from Russian fields, as well as over two-thirds of all Kazakhstan’s oil exports. Oil is shipped to the CPC via remote berths 5 km from the coastline.
