Background
MSPP is a 290 km multi-product, bi-directional pipeline connecting the Mina Al Fahal and Sohar Orpic refineries to the Al Jefnain storage and distribution facility. Additionally, it brings aviation fuel directly to the Muscat International airport.[1]
The pipeline is divided into three sections:[1]
- Mina al Fahal Refinery-Al Jefnain: 45 km, 10 inch diameter
- Sohar Refinery-Al Jefnain: 220 km, 18 inch diameter
- Al Jefnain-Muscat International Airport: 25 km, 10 inch diameter
Operations were initially expected to commence by mid-2017, however Orpic Logistics Company inaugurated the projection in March 2018.[1][5]
The pipeline follows a similar route to the Mina Al Fahal-Sohar Oil Pipeline, which started operations in 2005.
