Kazakhstan's Kashagan oil output jumps 48% in Jan-April
NUR-SULTAN, May 18 (Reuters) - Kazakhstan's giant Kashagan field increased oil output by 48% year-on-year in January-April to 5.8 million tonnes, Deputy Energy Minister Aset Magauov said on Monday.
Output at two other giant fields, Tengiz and Karachaganak, rose 3% and 5% respectively, he told a briefing. The ministry had earlier given different growth figures for the same period, but said on Monday those figures reflected actual performance against the plan.
