  • Oil transport via Baku-Ceyhan pipeline too expensive for Kazakhstan

    Oil transportation via Baku-Ceyhan pipeline too expensive for Kazakhstan
    RBC, 31.03.2005, Astana 18:10:02.

    Kazakhstan is dissatisfied with the current tariffs on oil transportation
    via the Baku-Tbilisi-Ceyhan pipeline, Kazakhstani President Nursultan
    Nazarbayev has said at a news conference after a meeting with Georgian
    President Mikhail Saakashvili. "So far, we are dissatisfied with the tariffs
    that have been offered to us, as it would be unprofitable for oil companies
    to transport oil, if the tariffs were so high," the President said. He added
    that an Azerbaijani delegation would visit Kazakhstan in April to continue
    talks on Kazakhstan joining the Baku-Tbilisi-Ceyhan project.

    At the same time Nazarbayev noted that the transportation of
    Kazakhstani oil via the Caucasus and Georgia to the Black Sea could become
    the first large joint project for Kazakhstan and Georgia. However, an
    agreement with Azerbaijan should be reached in connection with this.
    Additionally, Kazakhstan would like to receive some preferences from
    Georgia, relating to the transit of Kazakhstan's goods via that country,
    Nazarbayev remarked.
