Tatneft has started the realization of the NPS Kaleykino- Nizhnekamsk Oil Refinery oil trunk pipeline project. The construction of the pipeline is being executed within the frameworks of Tatneft’s project of building a major refineries and petrochemical plants complex in Nizhnekamsk. The project, whose overall execution is being coordinated by Tatneft, is a part of a key infrastructural facility that is being financed by the Investment Fund of the Russian Federation, a special state investment vehicle used by the government for co-funding key investment projects in the country.
The actual works on the project finally kicked off at the end of July, when the first joint in the 720-mm-diameter pipeline was welded at the construction site, though the preparatory groundworks had started much earlier. The oil-pipeline project is owned by Transneft, a major state-owned oil transportation corporation, while Tatneft is the developer. The project’s general contractor is Glavneftegazstroiservis, an assets management company that currently oversees the activities of Tatneft’s subsidiary construction units, which were spun off into separate external service operations during the reorganization of the oil company few years ago.
The total length of the oil pipeline is over 118km. The factory, which is producing the pipes for the project, has already supplied 47km of the required amount for the construction. Currently, all the necessary preparatory groundworks are in progress on the oil-pipeline route. About 400 workers and over 250 units of construction equipment and machinery are involved in the execution of the project.
