Project Details

• Owner: Bangladesh Petroleum Corporation (BPC)
• Proposed capacity: 3 MMtpa
• Length: 155 miles/ 249.4 kilometers
• Diameter: 16 inches
• Status: Shelved
• Start Year: 2022

Background

Engineers India Ltd. was contracted to do route surveying and the Bangladesh Army was contracted to do engineering, procurement and construction.

As of November 2019, only 12 percent of the work had been completed. There are no updates since then so the project is presumed to be shelved.
