Kazakhstan said on Wednesday it was discussing measures to tackle the impact of restrictions on oil exports via the Caspian Pipeline Consortium (CPC), which ships Kazakh crude via Russia to the Black Sea.

The CPC, which handles about 1% of global oil, said on Wednesday that a Russian court had ordered it to suspend operations for 30 days, citing issues related to oil spills.

Kazakhstan, which depends on revenues from fossil fuels, relies on the CPC for the most of its oil exports.
