Petrolul din Kazahstan, blocat după atacurile din Marea Neagră

The suspension of oil exports through the Caspian Pipeline Consortium raises concerns about Romania's fuel supply and prices. The halt, effective from July 21, 2026, is due to security issues in the Black Sea, not a political decision from Kazakhstan. Following drone attacks on tankers, shipping companies have avoided the area, leading to a cessation of oil reception at the CPC terminal. Kazakhstan supplies about 63% of Romania's oil imports, making any disruption critical. The situation is exacerbated by tensions in the Middle East and restrictions in the Strait of Hormuz, potentially pushing diesel prices in Romania to 10.5-11 lei per liter if issues persist.
