Background

Kenkiyak-Atyrau oil pipeline operates in a reverse-averse cyclic mode. It is designed to transport oil from the Kenkiyak pumping station located in the Aktobe region to the T.Kassymov pumping station, located in the Atyrau region ("averse" mode - export of oil to the world market through the Caspian Pipeline Consortium to the port of Novorossiysk and through the Uzen-Atyrau-Samara oil pipeline through "Transneft" systems to the ports of the Baltic Sea and Western Europe) and in the opposite direction from the T. Kasymov pumping station to the Kenkiyak pumping station, as well as from the Shmanov pumping station to Kenkiyak ("reverse" mode - export of oil from the fields of Western Kazakhstan to Kazakhstan-China oil pipeline).
