Explanation: - Caspian Pipeline Consortium (CPC) is a $2.6 billion project consisting of a 935-mile crude oil pipeline that runs from the Tengiz oil field in Kazakhstan to the Russian Black Sea port of Novorossiysk.
> Construction on the CPC pipeline began in 1999.
> It was commissioned in 2001, and a $5.1 billion expansion project was completed in 2018.
> It is a key East-West pipeline that will carry oil from the Caspian Sea region to international markets.
> CPC includes the Russian and Kazakh governments, as well as Western energy majors Chevron, ExxonMobil, and Shell.
> This pipeline accounts for two-thirds of Kazakhstan's oil exports.
> The pipeline's total capacity is 1.4 million barrels per day of oil. This is 2.3 percent of global seaborne oil trade.
