Kazakhstan's Kashagan field to yield 8.9 mln T in 2016 -minister

ATYRAU, Kazakhstan, Dec (Shanghai: 600875.SS - news) 7 (Reuters) - Kazakhstan's offshore Kashagan field is expected to produce 8.9 million tonnes of oil in 2016, Kazakh Energy Minister Kanat Bozumbayev told Reuters on Wednesday.

Kashagan had produced more than 600,000 tonnes since Sept. 28, of which more than 500,000 tonnes had been exported, he added.

Bozumbayev also said his country was in talks with OPEC and non-OPEC oil producers and would support the organisation's stance on reducing output.

Bozumbayev said on Tuesday he planned to attend a Dec. 10 meeting of OPEC and non-OPEC producers in Vienna, but did not commit to any output cuts. (Reporting by Maria Gordiyeva; Writing by Andrew Osborn; Editing by Maria Kiselyova)
