Caspian oil exports are set to drop in May as the giant Tengiz oilfield in Kazakhstan undergoes maintenance.

Exports of the CPC blend from the Black Sea via the network of the Caspian Pipeline Consortium CPC are expected to drop by 12% in May compared to the scheduled shipments for April, due to a planned oilfield maintenance, Reuters reported on Wednesday, citing sources with knowledge of the matter. CPC blend exports are seen down to around 4.9 million metric tons in May, compared to 5.4 million tons planned to be exported in April, according to Reuters’ sources.

The CPC pipeline runs from the Caspian coast in northwest Kazakhstan to the Novorossiysk port on Russia’s Black Sea coast and carries 80% of Kazakh crude exports. It wasn’t immediately clear when the maintenance at the Tengiz oilfield will begin or how long it will take, the sources told Reuters. The price of CPC Blend cargoes loading for May has already increased, due to the expected drop in export volumes.
