Kazakhstan Starts Gradual Restoration of Output at Tengiz Field

The Chevron-led venture Tengizchevroil has started to restore production at the Tengiz oil field, Kazakhstan’s largest, after operations were partially suspended earlier this month.

The first well was successfully brought back online at 3:35 a.m. local time, according to a statement from the Kazakh energy ministry. A total of five wells are currently in operation.
