Oil majors face output slump, deep losses if Russia stops Kazakh pipeline

Western energy majors will cut output and lose billions of dollars if Russia, as is feared, suspends a pipeline that is almost the only export route for oil from land-locked Kazakhstan, company sources, traders and analysts say.
The closure of the CPC pipeline that carries oil from Kazakhstan to the Black Sea Russian export terminal in the port of Novorossiisk would shut in more than 1% of the global oil supply, exacerbating what is already the most severe energy crunch since the Arab oil embargo in the 1970s.

The fourth tropical storm to earn a name in the East Pacific basin spun to life on Saturday and has since exploded into a powerful major hurricane over the open waters of the basin. AccuWeather forecasters say Hurricane Darby is particularly impressive to behold as the tropical cyclone's journey thus far has led to stunning weather imagery.
Forecasters say it is not out of the question that Darby could reach Category 4 hurricane (sustained wind speeds of 130-156 mph or 209-251 km/h) status later Monday.
