Kazakhstan plans oil transit via Baku–Supsa pipeline

The potential rise in demand for Kazakh oil in Western markets is raising the question of resuming its transit through Azerbaijan via the Baku–Supsa pipeline, which has been idle since 2022 and has a throughput capacity of 7 million tonnes, according to Kazakhstan’s Minister of Energy, Yerlan Akkhenzhenov.

“For the first six months of this year, about 750,000 tonnes of oil were transported via existing routes, while for the entire previous year this figure was nearly 1.5 million tonnes,” Minister Akkhenzhenov said.

In 2022, KazMunayGas (KMG) and SOCAR signed a 5-year agreement on oil transit via the Aktau–Baku–Ceyhan route, starting with 1.5 million tonnes per year, with plans to scale up to 5 million tonnes annually. From January to April 2025, the total volume of oil shipped reached 489,000 tonnes, and the target for the current year is 1.7 million tonnes.
