Successful Commissioning Seen at Chad Crude Pipeline

On June 9, crude oil successfully arrived at the end station at N'Djamena since it started flowing into the Chad Crude Pipeline from Ronier oilfield on May 23, marking another milestone of Chad's 1Mt/a productivity construction project following the upstream oil production plant's operation on April 26.

Built by China Petroleum Pipeline Bureau, the Chad Crude Pipeline was completed in about two years. Construction of an automatic SCADA system and the pipeline was completed simultaneously, greatly reducing the risk in pipeline operation and realizing central management at MCC. The operation of the Chad Crude Oil Pipeline will provide the first important energy channel that runs through Chad from north to south, and significantly promote Chad's economic development and the friendship between the two countries.
