ALMATY, March 15 (Reuters) - Kazakhs state oil firm
KazMunayGaz will start sending crude from the giant
Tengiz oilfield via the Baku-Tbilisi-Ceyhan pipeline this month,
Deputy Chief Executive Bulat Zakirov said on Wednesday.
The move is part of an attempt to diversify export routes
away from Russia, which currently transships about 80% of
Kazakhstan's oil exports.
