Tengiz Output Surges 99% as Kazakhstan Restores Production After CPC Curbs
CVX sits 29% above its 52-week low of $146.49.
Summary
Kazakhstan's oil output jumped 40% to 2.08 million bpd on August 9, driven by a near-doubling of production at the Chevron-led Tengiz field to 903,000 bpd from 454,000 bpd on July 31. This recovery follows a July slump caused by export restrictions on the Caspian Pipeline Consortium (CPC), which handles over 80% of Kazakhstan's exports. The rapid restoration directly benefits Chevron's flagship international asset and comes just weeks after blowout Q2 earnings. With Tengiz back near its July average of 784,000 bpd, the operational disruption appears resolved, supporting Chevron's production outlook for the second half.
