ADNOC's second pipeline to be competed by around January, Inpex executive says

Business Recorder reported that Abu Dhabi National Oil Company (ADNOC) expects its additional crude line to be ready around January. Inpex senior executive vice president Toshiaki Takimoto said the project would raise the combined throughput of ADNOC’s onshore route to about 3.6 million barrels per day, twice the current level. The existing system, rated at roughly 1.8 million barrels per day, carries crude from inland fields.

Takimoto also said ADNOC has another pipeline in its plans, with completion expected around 2029. Inpex could consider backing a further expansion of the UAE’s crude network if asked, depending on whether it can maintain deliveries of oil in which it has an interest. ADNOC was unavailable for comment outside office hours, Business Recorder reported.
