Kazakhstan Oil Buyers Demand More Supply as Hormuz Closure Tightens Market

Customers buying oil from Kazakhstan are urging the OPEC+ producer to ramp up crude supply and deliver the maximum available volumes, Kazakhstan’s Energy Minister Yerlan Akkenzhenov said on Wednesday.

“In light of restrictions in the Strait of Hormuz, our partners are asking us to increase supplies,” Reuters quoted Akkenzhenov as telling reporters in Astana today.
