The lifting volume decrease in April was caused by a scheduled 56-hour shutdown of the pipeline system for the maintenance purposes and tie-in of the new facilities built as a part of the Expansion Project.
About 18 tons on crude oil (approx. 140 million barrels) was lifted since the year start until the end of April. Since the beginning of the operations CPC lifted over 4.5 thousand tankers with almost 480 million tons of crude oil.
