Kazakhstan’s giant Kashagan oilfield is resuming production after power disruptions cut output this week.
Supply from the field is expected to regain planned levels in the next two days, Kazakhstan’s Energy Ministry said by email. Output was cut on Jan. 15 by a power failure at the project’s onshore facilities, followed by a halt to an offshore power plant two days later, the ministry said.
