Kazakhstan Boosts Oil Supplies to Germany via Druzhba Pipeline in December

(Reuters) — Kazakhstan's pipeline operator Kaztransoil said on Tuesday that oil supplies to Germany via the Druzhba pipeline will be increased to 135,000 metric tons (32,000 barrels per day) this month from the planned 130,000 tons.

Concerns about European supply have eased on reports that the Druzhba pipeline, which sends Russian and Kazakh oil to Hungary, Slovakia, the Czech Republic and Germany, has restarted after technical problems at a Russian pumping station halted flows on Thursday.

December supplies will be in addition to the 1.358 million tons sent earlier this year.

Kazakhstan also planned to export 122,000 tons of oil via the Baku-Tbilisi-Ceyhan pipeline that runs to Turkey this month, on top of 1.342 million tons shipped in January-November.
