Kazakhstan will produce 96 million to 98 million tons of oil in 2026, below plan

ASTANA, March 11 (Reuters) - Kazakhstan's energy minister Yerlan Akkenzhenov said on Wednesday that the country's 2026 oil production is expected to reach 96 million to 98 million metric tons, below its plan, and that production at the giant Tengiz field stood at 120,000 tons per day.

Tengiz, Kazakhstan's largest field, was hit by a series of outages earlier this year, which saw production suspended for much of January.
