At the month-end of November 2016 4,438,701 tons of crude oil (35,151,943 barrels) were lifted at the Consortium Marine Terminal. This is a record month volume of the entire operation of Tengiz-Novorossiysk crude pipeline system. The previous record was achieved in March 2016 when 4,210,000 tons of crude oil were loaded on tankers in that month.
Over the entire history of the Consortium more than 4.3 thousand tankers have been loaded at the Marine Terminal, with more than 460 million tons of oil lifted. Kazakhstani producers account for about 398 million tons of crude oil of that volume and the Russian producers account for the rest.
