TOKYO: Abu Dhabi National Oil Company (ADNOC) is expected to complete a second crude oil pipeline by around January, doubling the capacity of its existing onshore pipeline to about 3.6 million barrels per day (bpd), an Inpex executive said.
The existing pipeline has a capacity of about 1.8 million bpd and transports crude from inland oil fields, Inpex Senior Executive Vice President Toshiaki Takimoto said on Thursday.
A third pipeline is also planned, with completion expected around 2029, he said.
Inpex may consider supporting an expansion of the United Arab Emirates’ crude oil pipeline if requested, depending on whether it can ensure smooth shipments of crude in which it has an interest, he said ADNOC was not immediately available for comment outside office hours.
