【Global Oil Supply and Demand】
The Kashagan oilfield in Kazakhstan, which started production in 2013, is projected to reach 1 billion barrels of cumulative production by year-end. It holds approximately 35 billion barrels of oil, with half deemed recoverable. Developed by international majors and KazMunayGas, it has produced 906 million barrels of oil.
【Oil-Producing Countries Dynamics】
Kazakhstan's increased oil production has challenged OPEC quotas, with the country consistently exceeding its ceiling. Energy Minister Yerlan Akkenzhenov stated Kazakhstan can't impose output reductions on international firms operating over 70% of its oilfields. Deputy Energy Minister Alibek Zhamauov confirmed Kazakhstan's notification to OPEC about not cutting production.
【Industry News】

This has contributed to rapid deindustrialization, with manufacturing hitting an all-time low of 9% GDP in 2024.
【Company News】
German asset manager Union Investment divested ExxonMobil shares, citing inadequate climate targets. Despite pursuing lower-emission investments, Union Investment criticized their lack of Scope 3 targets for emissions reduction.

【Latest Oil Policies】
