Based on the results of May 2017, the CPC Marine Terminal (in Yuzhnaya Ozereevka, Krasnodar Krai) loaded 4,872,092 tons of oil (38,487,475 barrels), which is 166,281 tons more than in April 2017 and 1,512,678 tons more than in the same period last year.
Since the beginning of year up to the end of May, more than 22.5 million tons of oil has been loaded. Based on submitted Shipper nominations, the 2017 pumping target is 65 million tons. In particular, Kazakhstan shippers account for 54 million tons, including 11 million tons from Kashagan, and Russian shippers account for 11 million tons, including 5.4 million tons from the Filanovsky and Korchagin fields.
As a reminder, a certain decrease in loading figures in April 2017 was caused by a scheduled 56-hour shutdown of the oil pipeline for pipeline system maintenance and tie-ins of new facilities constructed under the CPC Expansion Project.
The record month in terms of loading volumes at the CPC Marine Terminal is March 2017 with 4,929,486 tons of oil (38,990,365 barrels).
Over the consortium’s entire history, the CPC Marine Terminal has loaded for export more than 4.5 thousand tankers which have accepted nearly 490 million tons of oil into their tanks.
