Abu Dhabi Crude Oil Pipeline Project
IPIC has been tasked by the Government of Abu Dhabi with the execution of several key strategic projects. We highlight the most imminent of these below.
Abu Dhabi Crude Oil Pipeline Project
This strategically important project will allow Abu Dhabi to export crude oil directly from Fujairah, thus offsetting the reliance on Arabian Gulf oil terminals, while reducing shipping congestion through the Straits of Hormuz.
Originating from Habshan in Abu Dhabi – the current collection point for Abu Dhabi’s onshore crude oil production – ADCOP will terminate in Fujairah. The 48-inch-diameter pipeline has been designed to transport some 1.5 MMBPD of crude oil from Abu Dhabi Company for Onshore Oil Operations (ADCO) facilities at Habshan over a distance of 380 km to an export oil terminal in Fujairah.
The scale of the project is immense and encompasses the construction of pumping stations, a main oil terminal (storage capacity of 8 million barrels) and offshore loading facilities at Fujairah, in addition to the installation of the main pipeline.
