In June 2026, Kazakhstan increased oil and gas condensate production by 2% compared to May, reaching 8.59 million tonnes. This was reported by Qazaqyia.kz citing Kursiv Media.
Thus, in terms of daily production, the figure rose from 2.12 million to 2.16 million barrels per day.
If only oil is considered, without gas condensate, average daily production increased by 1.7% — from 1.88 million to 1.92 million barrels.
The growth was primarily driven by the Tengiz and Karachaganak fields, while production at Kashagan remained virtually unchanged.
The largest contribution to the production increase came from the country's largest field, Tengiz. In June, 3.62 million tonnes of oil were produced there, 3.7% more than in May.
At Karachaganak, production grew even more significantly — by 6%, to 976 thousand tonnes.
At the same time, production at Kashagan remained virtually unchanged, declining by only 0.2% to 1.514 million tonnes.
Despite commitments under the OPEC+ agreement, Kazakhstan's average daily oil production in June was 1.92 million barrels.
Meanwhile, the quota set for the country for June was 1.599 million barrels per day. In July, the limit will increase slightly to 1.608 million barrels per day.
Earlier, Kazakh authorities planned to carry out a 30-day repair at the Kashagan field this summer. However, it was decided to postpone the work to 2027.
This decision is due to the need to maintain production volumes after the accident at Tengiz, as well as restrictions on oil transportation through the Caspian Pipeline Consortium (CPC) system.
Earlier, Kursiv reported that a third of Kazakhstan's gas was under threat due to attacks on a Russian plant.
