Upper Magdalena Oil Pipeline, known locally as Oleoducto Alto Magdalena or by its Spanish initials OAM, is an oil pipeline in Colombia.[1]

Location

The pipeline transports oil from the oil fields of the Upper Magdalena Valley, Colombia. The main pipeline runs between Tenay station north of Neiva (Huila Department) and Vasconia Station in Puerto Boyacá (Boyaca Department). Along this main route, the pipeline passes through pumping stations at Saldaña, Chicoral, Gualanday, and Lérida (Tolima department), and La Dorada (Caldas department).[2] A branch line serves the Palagua oil field to the west.[3][4] At Chicoral, the Upper Magdalena pipeline also receives oil from the Guando oil field to the east via Perenco's Guando-Chicoral Oil Pipeline.
