Tengizchevroil has started operations at its Wellhead Pressure Management Project (WPMP) at the Tengiz oil field - a key milestone in the expansion project it said via a statement.

• The WPMP is designed to maintain the existing processing plants’ full capacity (approx. 28 million tonnes per annum).
• “The final stage of TCO’s expansion project, known as the Future Growth Project (FGP), is scheduled for completion in the first half of 2025. This will enable TCO to expand Tengiz crude oil production by an incremental 12 million tons per annum (260,000 barrels a day),” they said.
• The expansion of the Tengizchevroil venture, known as the Future Growth Project, has delayed its full startup into the second quarter of next year.
