Kazakhstan

Kazatomprom State Corporation, the largest uranium mining company in the world, plans to make more active use of the Trans-Caspian international transport route.

Export of Kazakh oil to Europe was blocked after a storm in the Black Sea, which damaged the oil terminal of the Caspian Pipeline Consortium (CPC) in Novorossiysk.

The protests, which have been going on in Kazakhstan since January 2nd, could provoke disruptions in offshore gas supplies to Ukraine.
