Market Chatter: Kazakh Court Rejects Oil Majors' Appeal in $5 Billion Sulfur Dispute

A Kazakh court has upheld a $5.1 billion environmental fine against the international consortium operating the Kashagan oil field, the country's second-largest crude producer, Bloomberg reported on Friday, citing the Ministry of Ecology and Natural Resources.The ruling, delivered on April 8 by an appeals court in Astana, marks a significant setback for the North Caspian Operating Company in its long-running dispute with the Kazakh government.The fine, totaling 2.36 trillion Kazakhstani tenge ($5.1 billion), was originally imposed for storing excessive amounts of sulfur at the offshore field.NCOC said it disagrees with the Astana court's ruling, while reiterating that its sulfur-management operations were in full compliance with the law. The energy firm and its shareholders plan to pursue "all available avenues of recourse against this decision to defend their rights".The sulfur fine is linked to a broader $166 billion international arbitration dispute over Kashagan, Kazakhstan's second-largest oilfield.Meanwhile, though the court decision has entered into legal force, the NCOC still has the option to file a cassation appeal, the report said.NCOC is owned by Kazakhstan's state oil and gas company, KazMunayGas, alongside Eni (E), Shell (SHEL), TotalEnergies (TTE), ExxonMobil (XOM), Inpex, and China National Petroleum.NCOC did not immediately respond to' request for comment.The oil majors are also contesting the fine through other channels. The companies filed for international arbitration in February. Individually, the companies appealed the sulfur penalty to the Committee for Environmental Regulation and Control, which has yet to issue a decision, the Ministry of Ecology said.(Market Chatter news is derived from conversations with market professionals globally.

TotalEnergies Publishes Q1 Performance Indicators, New Projects Boost Hydrocarbons Output

TotalEnergies (TTE) saw organic growth in Q1 hydrocarbon production, 3% higher than annual guidance, following the start of its Lapa SW and Mabruk projects, while the Middle East conflict curbed output by about 100,000 barrels per day, it said in a regulatory filing.Overall, oil and gas production in Q1 will be similar to Q4, 2025 levels, it said. Exploration and production results are "expected to rise significantly," reflecting sensitivity to an increase in average liquids prices, up $12.40 per barrel over the quarter, along with the contribution of its new projects.Q1 Integrated LNG results and cash flow will rise versus the quarter immediately prior, helped by a 10% increase in LNG production and strong trading activities amid market volatility.The company's integrated power results and cash flow are expected to be in line with Q1 2025 at around $500-$600 million, it said.Downstream results and cash flow should rise, supported by a refining utilization rate of more than 90%, it said, with facilities recovering full operational performance and trading activity for petroleum products strong in March.The company said working capital increased by about $5 billion in the quarter, wit $2.5 billion to $3 billion linked to business seasonality and between $2 billion and $2.5 billion linked to higher hydrocarbon prices at the end of the quarter.Gearing ratio is expected to be around 15% by the end of Q1, driven by increased cash flow from higher market prices, TotalEnergies said.Price: $90.50, Change: $+3.44, Percent Change: +3.95%
