A major development led by Chevron Corp. to boost oil output at Kazakhstan’s Tengiz field will cost about $48.5 billion, according to people familiar with the matter.
The US oil giant said at its third-quarter earnings in October that the budget for Tengiz, previously set at $45.2 billion, was rising by about 4% due to a slower than expected startup. There will be a further $1.5 billion of spending on the project, the people said, asking not to be named because the information isn’t public.
