Kazakhstan keeps September oil output steady at 1.88 mln bpd, source says

A person familiar with preliminary data said on Thursday that Kazakhstan's crude oil production in September was unchanged from August. This includes gas condensate (a type of lighter oil), but excludes crude oil.

This was higher than Kazakhstan's quota for July of 1,514 million bpd, which was agreed to with the oil producing group OPEC+.

Kazakhstan has been exceeding its quotas for several months, set by OPEC+. This grouping includes the Organization of Petroleum Exporting Countries (OPEC) and other producers including Russia.

Under the OPEC+ agreement, the country must compensate for its previous overproduction of 2.917 millions barrels by July 20,26.

Tengizchevroil, the largest oil company in the country, increased output at Tengiz by 1% to 963.800 bpd last month from 953,900.

TCO does comment on its commercial activities.

According to preliminary data, the total production of crude oil and condensate fell by 3% to 8,335 million tons in September, or 2,084 million barrels per day, down from 8,885 million tons or 2,150 million barrels per day in August.

Estimates show that Kazakhstan produced 75.7 million tonnes of crude oil and condensate during the first nine months in 2025. Tomasz Janovski, Reporter and Editor
