Rosneft considers upping Kazakh transit

摘要

Rosneft is thinking about boosting shipments to China across Kazakhstan through the Atasu-Alashankou pipeline. Supplies could rise to 9mn t next year (179,000 b/d) from 7mn t/yr, market participants say. Rosneft asked to pump 8mn t this year, but pipeline operator Kaztransoil (KTO) confirmed only 7mn t, citing technical limits.
