ASTANA, July 18 (Reuters) - The infrastructure of the Caspian Pipeline Consortium (CPC) terminal off Russia's Black Sea coast is operating normally, Kazakhstan's energy ministry said on Saturday, after an oil tanker was attacked and damaged by drones the day prior.

"The technological infrastructure is operating normally. The Caspian Pipeline Consortium is carrying out cargo operations and loading oil onto tankers according to the established schedule," the energy ministry said, adding that there was no threat to Kazakh oil.

Sources told Reuters on Friday that the attacked vessel, the Suezmax-class Nordic Zenith, had been chartered by U.S. oil major ExxonMobil XOM.N.

CPC did not identify any party as responsible for the incident. An Exxon spokesperson said the company does not discuss operational details for marine transportation.
