Background

The pipeline originally had a capacity of 11 million tonnes per year (220,000 barrels per day). It was commissioned in 2009.

In 2015, the pipeline was augmented in a Rs 586-crore project involving laying 65 km of loopline and constructing five 60,000 kL tanks at Paradip and one 40,000 kL tank at Barauni, as well as adding a pumping station and additional pumping units at three locations. The augmentation increased the pipeline's capacity from 11.0 million tons per year to 15.2 million tons per year.

In October 2017, the pipeline received one of the first US shipments to India since the US ceased oil exports in 1975.

The pipeline transports crude oil from Paradip Port, Jagatsinghpur district, Odisha, to the IOCL Barauni Refinery, Bihar. From Barauni, oil is further taken to Bongaigaon and Guwahati. Furthermore, the system also includes a 102 km pipeline to transport oil from three Single Point Mooring (SPM) systems to storage tank farm in Paradip.
