Med crude-Urals diffs stable, Kazakhstan's oil output rose in June

MOSCOW, July 1 (Reuters) - Urals oil differentials to dated Brent were unchanged again on Tuesday in quiet trade, while Kazakhstan's oil output rose in June by 7.5% from May, sources said.

Oil output in Kazakhstan returned to growth last month and matched an all-time high, as the Chevron-led CVX.N Tengiz field ramped up, a source familiar with the data told Reuters on Tuesday.

Kazakhstan's daily crude oil output, excluding gas condensate, a type of light oil, jumped in June by 7.5% from May to 1.88 million barrels per day, according to the source.
