Operations to extend an oil pipeline from Bandar Abbas in Hormozgan Province to Rafsanjan County in Kerman have registered a work-in-progress rate of 52%, the project operator at the National Iranian Oil Engineering and Construction Company said.
“The project is aimed at boosting oil derivatives transferring capacity from the Persian Gulf Star Refinery in Bandar Abbas by 48 million liters per day,” Ali Khanipour was also quoted as saying by the Oil Ministry’s news portal Shana.
The plan entails laying a 250-kilometer 26-inch pipeline at an estimated cost of $90 million, he added, noting that the venture is being undertaken by domestic firms, Tadbir Energy Development Group and Pars Consulting Engineers Company.
