MMG produced 6.4 million tonnes of oil last year – about 7 per cent of Kazakhstan’s total output – and Kalamkas, its biggest field, has traditionally accounted for more than 60 per cent of the company’s production. The company mostly ships oil for exports through pipelines to Russian seaports, but also sends small amounts by another pipeline to China.
