Uberaba-Cuiabá Oil Pipeline, also known by its Portuguese acronym OLUC, is a proposed oil pipeline in Brazil.

Location

The pipeline is proposed to run from Uberaba (Minas Gerais state) to Cuiabá (Mato Grosso state), Brazil. The pipeline would pass through oil terminals in Campo Grande (Mato Grosso do Sul), Rondonópolis (Mato Grosso), and Cuiabá.[1]

Background

The 1390-kilometer Uberaba-Cuiabá Oil Pipeline was proposed in Brazil's 2021-2022 Indicative Oil Pipelines Plan as a means to transport oil from Minas Gerais in Brazil's Southeast region to the states of Mato Grosso and Mato Grosso do Sul in Brazil's Central West region. The pipeline would be divided into three sections as outlined above, and would have an estimated cost of R$ 9,159 million (roughly 9.2 billion Brazilian reais).[1]

The 2021/2022 Indicative Oil Pipelines Plan also describes an alternative version of the project known as Oleoduto Uberlândia-Cuiabá, which would move the pipeline's eastern terminus roughly 100 km north, from Uberaba to Uberlândia (Minas Gerais state).
