MOSCOW, March 23 (Reuters) - Kazmunaigaz (KMG) has
started shipping oil from Kazakhstan's Caspian Sea port of Aktau
to the Sangachal terminal in Azerbaijan for onward distribution
via the Baku-Tbilisi-Ceyhan (BTC) pipeline, three sources
familiar with the matter said.
KMG has a share of the giant Tengiz oil field in Kazakhstan,
operated by Tengizchevoil (TCO), and was initially expected to
start supplies via the BTC pipeline in February, but the plan
was delayed by an earthquake in Turkey, where the pipeline ends.
KMG did not immediately respond to a request for comment.
TCO declined to comment.
