Oil production at Kazakhstan’s Tengiz field has remained shut since January 19 following a fire that broke out the previous day at the site’s GTES-4 power station. According to three industry sources cited by Reuters, this disruption could last another 7 to 10 days, potentially extending into February. Operator Tengizchevroil (TCO) confirmed the temporary shutdown of operations at the Tengiz and Korolevskoye fields, citing power supply problems.
