Topic: Oil and Gas News - Tanzania: Tanzania-Zambia Oil Pipeline Up for Repair, to Lift Business

An pipeline used to convey crude oil to the landlocked Zambia has been earmarked for major repairs. The workers will work on sections of the 1,710-km pipeline that stretches from port city, Dar es Salaam to Ndola, Zambia. The lucky bidders will remove and then replace a 5-km portion of the pipeline and will also put sleeves to reinforce the pipeline which transports the inflammable crude oil. In areas like Gongo la Mboto in Dar es Salaam people erroneously built their houses where the pipeline passes beneath. Sea tankers upon their arrival at Dar port will moor at an offshore oil discharging facility where they are worked out by using submarine pipes that connects the facility to onshore oil storage tanks. The oil after being received by the storage tanks is then pumped onto the 1,710-km conveyor pipeline to start its journey to its final destination, Ndola where it is then refined. read more
