ASTANA, Kazakhstan, October 3. The Caspian Pipeline Consortium (CPC) has shipped its one billionth ton of oil since the start of operations in 2001 at the CPC Marine Terminal, Trend reports via the consortium.
Since the inception of the terminal, a total of 9,334 tankers
have been processed at the consortium's offshore docking
facilities. In alignment with the CPC's strategic framework, the
initiative has emerged as a quintessential case study of optimized
and synergistic collaboration within the global petroleum
sector.
The consortium is progressively executing a strategic initiative to
substitute primary pump units with gas turbine propulsion systems,
utilizing electric motor units manufactured in Russia.
Preparations are also underway to upgrade the offshore berths at the Marine Terminal, including the installation of new anchors and caissons. In addition, the CPC is systematically modernizing its supervisory control and data acquisition (SCADA) system to a state-of-the-art dispatch control and management system.
The Caspian Pipeline Consortium (CPC) is an international project for transporting oil over a distance of 1,510 km from western Kazakhstan (Tengiz, Karachaganak, and Kashagan fields) to the marine terminal in Novorossiysk on the Black Sea (Russia).
