Background

This pipeline transports LPG exclusively and runs parallel to another pipeline that transports refined oil products. The pipeline was renovated between 2010 and 2012, in a project in which the original pipes were replaced by newer, better quality pipes. A total of 66 km of pipeline were renovated.
