Italian website: Raising interest in the upper sea

A report published by the Italian website “Scenari Economici”, written by Fabio Lugano, revealed a serious escalation in the Black Sea following an attack—believed to have been carried out by Ukraine—on the CPC terminal of the Caspian Pipeline Consortium in Novorossiysk using unmanned boats. The incident prompted Kazakhstan to issue an official diplomatic protest to Kyiv.

 

The writer explained that the attack directly targeted Kazakhstan’s oil exports, leading Astana to file an official complaint—a move that raised tensions in the Black Sea to their highest levels. The strike caused damage to the CPC terminal, which serves as a crucial hub for Kazakh oil flows.

 

Kazakhstan stated that the attack hit civilian infrastructure and immediately activated an emergency plan to maintain export continuity, amid fears that the consequences could affect global supplies. Lugano argues that hybrid warfare spares no one, not even neutral countries or strategic partners.

 

He noted that prolonged repair work could reduce the supply of crude oil in international markets.

A Highly Strategic Bottleneck

 

The report highlighted that the CPC terminal handles the majority of Kazakhstan’s crude oil exports to global markets. The attack, which took place on Saturday, triggered wide debate—not only at the diplomatic level but also within energy markets—exposing the vulnerability of civilian infrastructure operating in the Black Sea.

 

A Geopolitical Paradox

Lugano pointed out a striking paradox: although Kazakh oil is extracted from the giant Tengiz field, it must travel 1,500 kilometers across Russian territory before being shipped from a Russian port. While striking Novorossiysk may be seen as a blow to Moscow, the immediate economic damage falls squarely on Astana.

 

Kazakhstan’s Foreign Ministry warned that such actions harm bilateral relations with Ukraine and called on Kyiv to take effective measures to prevent similar incidents. Although neither Moscow nor Kyiv issued an immediate official statement, Russian state media and Ukrainian sources attributed the attack to Ukrainian forces.

 

Potential Economic Implications

 

According to the writer, the immediate impact lies in the disruption of oil logistics and reduced export capacity, which may force Kazakhstan to seek more costly and complex alternative routes, such as those crossing the Caspian Sea and then Azerbaijan.

 

If repairs take an extended period, this may result in lower global crude supply and upward pressure on prices, despite Kazakhstan’s emergency measures aimed at minimizing the fallout.

 

The Importance of the CPC

 

Lugano concluded by stressing that the Caspian Pipeline Consortium (CPC) network—spanning more than 1,500 kilometers from western Kazakhstan’s oil fields to the Black Sea terminal—is one of the world’s most important energy infrastructures. It enables Central Asian oil to reach Western markets without relying entirely on routes under full Russian state control, even though it does cross Russian territory.
