Mumbai: ONGC Videsh Ltd (OVL), a wholly owned overseas subsidiary of the public sector ONGC, has successfully completed construction of the 741 km long multi-product pipeline from its refinery at Khartoum to export terminal port in Sudan two months ahead of schedule.

 

Announcing this, ONGC officials said the EPC project had been completed in 14 months by OVL against the contractual schedule of 16 months. The pipeline contract agreement (PCA) for construction of 741 km of multi-product export pipeline system from Khartoum Refinery to Port Sudan Export Terminal was entered into by OVL with the Sudanese Ministry of Energy and Mining on June 30, last year.

 

It was undertaken by OVL at a contract price of $ 194 million.

 

The pipeline system has been designed for export of 2.54 MMTPA of MoGas (Petrol) and Gas oil (Diesel) including other white products like kerosene and fuel oil from Khartoum Refinery to Port Sudan.

 

It had also included construction of the mainline, piping works for six pumping stations (two launcher and receiving stations and four intermediate pigging stations).

 

OVL executed the EPC contract with support of ONGC's Engineering Services under a technical and administrative support agreement (TASA) and kicked off the project execution with consortium of M/s Dodsal Pte Ltd, Dubai and DPL, Mumbai, as the EPC partner.
