On
29 July 2022 power supply of CPC-K Kurmangazy PS and Isatai PS was restored,
which allowed getting the pipeline facilities back to normal operation.Please
be reminded that as a result of adverse weather conditions seven overhead power
line (OHL) poles collapsed which caused outage of the two CPC facilities -
Kurmangazy PS and Isatai PS.
It
is worth noting that CPC-K personnel and contractors commenced the recovery
work immediately after the incident. KEGOC emergency crews were actively
involved in the recovery operations. KEGOC provided the required number of 220
kV poles from its safety stock and ensured their prompt loading and shipment.
During
temporary capacity limitation caused by the outage the CPC Blend was exported
via the Tengiz PS – Astrakhan PS segment using the Atyrau PS horse power
without starting Kurmangazy PS and Isatai PS.
Currently,
the CPC pipeline system operates normally, which ensures the fulfillment of
shippers' nominations.

projects with foreign capital in energy sector in the CIS. The length of the

significant distance offshore, also amid poor weather conditions.
