Just speculation on my part, but we have long operated under the watchful eyes of the Chinese and have always thought that would be the end-game, since I joined here many years ago following a tip from The Teacher. I am not currently in touch with him, so no longer get news from Almaty.
New routes to market are clearly being explored, since Putin kicked off in Ukraine. The men from the east having ambitions and deep pockets, will likely as not greatly assist with new infrastructure but will want something in return. Tengiz is not on the table, but Son of Tengiz might. Averaged up again recently thinking that we may get a surge after next week's update, just for a short term trade. No longer expecting my R8 from here, but hoping for a decent return in what is a difficult market. Very best of luck to all long termers here.
