Kazakhstan has issued a fresh fine to the country’s largest oil producer Tengizchevroil – led by US major Chevron.

It claims the company’s emissions of harmful substances into the atmosphere and into the ground continued to exceed permissible levels.

The move comes at a time when Kazakhstan’s authorities have been seeking higher contributions from oil and gas producers to the budget.
