Orpic breaks ground on $320m oil terminal project
Oman Oil Refineries and Petroleum Industries Company (Orpic) has broken ground on its $320-million Al Jifnain Terminal project, which involves the construction of a new two-way 290-km-long multi-product pipeline.
Orpic’s Muscat-Sohar Products Pipeline (MSPP) and Al Jifnain Terminal project aims to connect the company’s existing Mina Al Fahal refinery, with refineries in Sohar region of Oman, reported the Oman Observer.
This is a first-of-its-kind project to be developed in Oman, enabling Orpic to eliminate its reliance on above-ground methods of transportation for oil products, it added.
Orpic Logistics, a joint venture between Orpic and the Spanish firm Compañía Logística de Hidrocarburos (CLH), is delivering the MSPP project, said the report.
Oman-based GPS Company, which has business activities spread across the Gulf region, is the lead contractor for the project, supported by Spanish firms Abantia and Diseprosa.
Upon commissioning in 2017, the Jifnain Terminal will deliver 50 per cent of Oman’s fuel via the modern storage facility, it added.
