933 kms of Pipelines Added to Ease Internal Fuel Transport

Three pipeline construction projects to transfer gasoline, diesel and kerosene were inaugurated Monday stretching over 933 kilometers, the Oil Ministry news agency Shana reported.
“One was the 20-inch 420-km Naein-Kashan-Rey pipeline to transfer 204,000 barrels per day of petroleum products,” managing director of the National Iranian Oil Refining and Distribution Company said.
“Transferring this volume by road would entail high costs, and the pipeline will help save $22 million a year,” Shana quoted Alireza Sadeqabadi as saying.
Diesel, kerosene and gasoline produced in the Persian Gulf Star Refinery and Hormuz Refinery in the southern city of Bandar Abbas is piped to Naein and Kashan in the central Isfahan Province and from there to Rey in south Tehran.
