A drone struck a tanker loading crude oil at the Caspian Pipeline Consortium’s (CPC) Black Sea export terminal on Monday, according to regional media reports, forcing the suspension of exports for the second time in less than 24 hours. Emergency crews extinguished the fire within hours; the tanker remained afloat, and no oil spill was reported. CPC said tankers loading crude owned by Kazakhstan and U.S. shippers were targeted in the earlier attack. The 1,511-kilometer CPC pipeline carries more than two-thirds of Kazakhstan’s crude exports together with oil produced from Russian fields in the Caspian region to the Black Sea export terminal near Novorossiysk. Shareholders include Chevron, ExxonMobil, KazMunayGas, Lukoil, Rosneft, Shell and Eni, making the system one of the world’s largest internationally owned crude export routes.
