- The CPC Blend loading plan for August was set at 5.026 million tonnes, while September’s was set at 5.153 million tonnes.
- The other major supplier via CPC pipeline, Kazakhstan’s Kashagan oilfield, also cut output in August due to a gas leak early in the month and was gradually raising production.
