Kazakhstan's Karachaganak field raises output by 8%, source says

Oct 22 (Reuters) - Kazakhstan's oil and gas condensate Karachaganak field has increased output by around 8% after neighbouring Russia's Orenburg gas processing plant gradually restarted operations following drone strikes, an industry source said on Wednesday.

The source said daily output at the field had increased to 26,600 metric tons, or around 209,000 barrels, from 24,600 tons a day earlier.

Kazakhstan's energy ministry said production at Karachaganak has started to recover, without providing figures.
