The CPC Pipeline Expansion Project involved the expansion of the Caspian Pipeline Consortium’s (CPC) crude oil transportation system, a complete unitary pipeline running 1,500 kilometers from Tengiz, Kazakhstan, to the export terminal on the Black Sea near Novorossiysk, Russia. This expansion included a 932-mile crude oil pipeline, the construction of 10 new greenfield pump stations, and upgrades to 5 existing facilities. Additionally, the project featured the development of a marine terminal/tank farm with 4 existing tanks and the addition of 6 new oil storage tanks, each with a capacity of 100,000 cubic meters. Gulf’s consortium design enabled CPC to increase its initial capacity 2.5 times, reaching its original design capacity of approximately 67 million tons per annum (MTA).
