Caspian pipeline consortium

Caspian Pipeline Consortium (CPC) - is a result of consolidated effort by Russia, Kazakhstan and the world's leading oil companies: a thousand and a half kilometers of piping mains carrying oil from Tengiz oil field in West Kazakhstan region to Novorossiysk harbour at the Black Sea Russian coast (Yuzhnaya Ozereevka Terminal) to be sold at the world's markets. 

Initially, the CPC project was designed to incorporate a more than a two-fol increase in the throughput capacity. In 2010 it was decided to increase the capacity from the existing 28 to possible 67 mln tons of oil per year. This would require to commission 10 new pump stations and a third single point mooring (SPM) at the Marine Terminal as well as to construct additional oil storage tanks. The ceremony marking the launch of construction activities took place in July 2011.

VELESSTROY participated in the CPC expansion project, initially by taking up construction of three pump stations in Krasnodar Krai. Later, however, CPC expanded the construction package considerably and recognised VELESSTROY as one of its most reliable partners.

As part of the project our team has built Pump Stations Nos. 6, 7, 8, APS-4A and an tank farm including four oil storage tanks 100 000 cubic meter each. This is the first time tanks of such capacities were built for the oil and gas industry in Russia. At the end of 2020 VELESSTROY and Caspian Pipeline Consortium - R (CPC-R) signed a new contract. 

Following this contract our Company will be upgrading facilities as part of the Debottlenecking Program (DBNP). As a result, CPC system will achieve additional oil transportation capacities. 

Geographically, the project will cover pump stations in Kalmykiya, Astrakhan Oblast and Stavropol Krai. Additionally, as part of the contract, our workers will construct and upgrade onshore facilities of the Krasnodar Krai Marine Terminal.
