Oman's Orpic to build 280km Muscat-Sohar pipeline
- Oman: Tuesday, February 19 - 2013 at 03:56
Oman Oil Refineries and Petroleum Industries Co (Orpic) is planning to build a new 280km pipeline near the Muscat highway connecting Sohar and Muscat refineries, as the firm seeks to cut the heavy fuel tanker traffic in the capital city by 70%, Muscat Daily has reported. The project will boost the storage capacity for diesel, petrol and connect the current storage facilities in Sohar and Mina al Fahal to cope with ever growing demands, Orpic said. "70% of Oman fuel is being distributed from Mina al Fahal, the rest from Sohar refineries and Raysut port. Upon completion of the project, the new station will contribute 50% of the expected local consumption in the sultanate to cope with the growing demands, while keeping the current stations in operation."
