Over 70 million tonnes of Kazakh oil is shipped annually through a Russian port, mainly to the European market.

Omissions

• The figure of over 70 million tonnes refers to TOTAL CPC throughput at Novorossiysk (70.52 Mt in 2025), not to Kazakh oil alone; the Kazakh-origin volume was about 64.8 Mt in 2025 (roughly 63 Mt by another CPC/Kazakh Energy Ministry count).
• 2025 was an exceptional record year (up about 12% on 2024, when CPC handled roughly 63 Mt), so describing over 70 Mt as the volume 'shipped annually' overstates a typical year.
• CPC's nominal capacity is about 72.5 Mt/year from Kazakhstan and up to 83 Mt across Russian territory, so capacity figures should not be confused with actual Kazakh shipments.
