Kazakhstan discussed energy cooperation with the US, highlighting its role as a major producer supplying about 2% of global oil.

U.S. and Kazakhstan discuss expanded energy cooperation

Kazakhstan’s energy ministry said it recently held talks with the U.S. Department of Energy and the U.S. Embassy in Kazakhstan focused on energy cooperation. According to the ministry, the discussions covered advancing Kazakhstan’s strategic priorities in the oil and gas sector. Kazakhstan is a major producer, accounting for about 2% of daily global oil supply.

The update comes as Kazakhstan’s output has been affected by operational disruptions in recent weeks, including a temporary 7–10 day outage at the Tengiz field. The ministry also referenced drone strikes that impacted tankers and onshore infrastructure tied to the Caspian Pipeline Consortium (CPC), a key export route that carries much of Kazakhstan’s crude for loading at Russia’s Novorossiysk port. U.S. companies, including Chevron and ExxonMobil, have significant stakes in Kazakhstan’s oilfields—an example of how cross-border ties can matter for supply reliability and market conditions (see Ranger’s overview of oil and gas price volatility drivers).

Separately, Kazakhstan’s ministry noted Washington has been working to deepen ties with Kazakhstan in recent months, adding broader context to the energy discussions.
