CPC Launches a New Pipeline Section in Kazakhstan

The new pipeline section is designed and built to follow a safer bypass route in lieu of the old original 116 km section built back in 1991 that passed too close to the Caspian Sea, crossing areas subjected to regular spring floods.
The new pipeline section has been successfully hydrotested. The commissioning of the new pipe section will increase reliability and safety of CPC pipeline operation and ensure operating capacity required to support pipeline operations after CPC Expansion up to 67 MPA. The Expansion Project includes further upgrades of some sections of the pipe.
