The administration of US President Donald Trump has warned Ukraine against attacking non-Russian vessels in the Black Sea after a request from the American company Chevron. The reason was the attacks by Ukrainian drones in the Novorossiysk area, during which tankers were damaged, including a vessel chartered by Chevron.<\/strong><\/p>\n

This is reported by The Wall Street Journal.<\/a><\/p>\n

The impetus for the appeal was a conversation between Chevron CEO Mike Wirth and White House representatives regarding protecting the company’s business in Kazakhstan from the consequences of Russia’s war against Ukraine.<\/p>\n

According to the publication, during the attack by Ukrainian drones in the Novorossiysk area, four tankers were damaged, including a vessel chartered by Chevron.<\/p>\n

Novorossiysk is the terminus of the Caspian Pipeline Consortium, which is 15% owned by Chevron and supplies about 2% of global oil supplies. Kazakhstan is already being forced to cut production due to shipment restrictions.<\/p>\n

“The administration views the CPC as a vital energy supply channel from Kazakhstan to European markets, serving as an alternative to Russian resources,” the US official said.<\/p>\n

The publication notes that Chevron owns 50% of the Tengiz field, which provides about 12% of the company’s global production – up to 1 million barrels of oil per day. The project is expected to generate about $6 billion in free cash flow this year, and the company previously invested about $48 billion in its expansion.<\/p>\n

Analysts estimate that if attacks on exports through Novorossiysk continue, Chevron may be forced to reduce production at the Tengiz field due to the port’s limited oil storage capabilities.<\/p>\n

At the same time, analyst Paul Cheng suggested that due to the US position, Ukraine may focus its attacks on other, less politically sensitive targets.<\/p>\n

By the way, the Security Service of Ukraine reported a series of strikes on Russian military facilities in Rostov-on-Don and in the Caspian Sea<\/a> . According to the special service, air defense systems, a missile boat, cargo ships, warehouses with FPV drones, and an oil platform were hit.<\/p>\n
