The project, called the Muscat-Sohar Product Pipeline, is being run by Oman’s Orpic Logistics Company, which owns major refineries in the country. It is the result of a partnership between Oman Oil Refineries, Petroleum Industries Company, and Spanish fuel transportation and storage company CLH.
Having already received $320 million in investments, the development will help boost fuel-supply capacity in Oman. It consists of a 290-kilometre network of pipelines that will carry multiple hydrocarbons products to various storage terminals. A new national fuel storage terminal is a central component of the project and will be built at Al Jifnain, outside Muscat, with a capacity of 171,000 cubic metres spread across 12 tanks. The terminal will store petrol, diesel and jet fuel to be loaded onto marketing company fuel trucks via 18 loading bays.
Multiple hydrocarbons products will flow one after the other from Sohar and Mina Al Fahal refineries via the same pipelines without risking cross-contamination. A separate pipeline will carry jet fuel to Muscat International Airport.
