Transneft halts Russian CPC flows

By Upstream staff

Russian pipeline monopoly Transneft has halted Russian oil flows via the Caspian Pipeline (CPC), citing maintenance work at a rail loading terminal, industry sources said today.

CPC is able to replace any lost Russian oil with Kazakh barrels to ensure there is no loss to the market, the sources said.

Led by US supermajor Chevron, CPC ships crude from Kazakhstan to Russia's Black Sea port of Novorossiisk, but also uses flows of Russian crude which travel a short distance between the Transneft network and CPC by rail.

CPC can export up to 750,000 barrels per day and Russian flows can amount to 120,000 bpd of this, although they fell to just 60,000 bpd last month.

"We were told to suspend exports from January and re-route volumes to other destinations," a trading source from a Russian company which actively uses the route told Reuters.

The users include Rosneft, TNK-BP and Surgutneftegaz among others.

Transneft and CPC declined to comment.

A source at the Russian railway monopoly (RZhD) said he was aware of the suspension: "We have been shipping no volumes via the route as of the start of January as Transneft told us it had closed the rail racks for maintenance," he said.

Transneft's pipelined and CPC are not connected, so Russian crude must be onloaded in Tikhoretsk and shipped by rail to Kropotkin, where it is loaded into CPC.

The railway link between the two pipelines is controlled by the RZhD, while both rail racks were built by Transneft.

Nikolay Tokarev, a close ally of president Vladimir Putin, took over in October from Semyon Vainshtok as head of the world's largest pipeline network.

"I don't think this halt is part of Russia's pressure on CPC because it seems that a compromise on the pipeline expansion has been recently found," another trading source told Reuters.

CPC wants to double its capacity to ship more crude from Kazakhstan, where production is rising, but Russia had long opposed the idea because it said it would put extra pressure on the Bosphorus.

Kazakhstan's President Nursultan Nazarbayev said in December Russia had lifted its opposition after CPC pledged to join the Burgas-Alexandroupolis pipeline, a trans-Balkan link to take Russian and Central Asian oil from Bulgaria to Greece and thus bypassing the Bosphorus.
