The Energy Ministry said on Thursday that output would begin in late September or early October, Reuters reported.
However, the news wire also reported that the ministry withdrew an earlier statement claiming that production had already resumed, citing an error in its publication.
Kashagan, in Kazakhstan’s sector of the Caspian Sea, was known to be nearing a resumption of production. Output initially started in September 2013, only to be halted two weeks later after problems emerged with the field’s gas pipelines.
