The oil gathering station is so far the largest of its kind built by China overseas. China National Petroleum Engineering Construction Corporation, the undertaker of the project, adopted state-of-art management and technology in contracting, design and construction. The project covers a daily handling of 190,000 barrels of crude oil and construction of two oil-gathering stations of 220,000 barrels and a 260 km pipeline building. All of them have been brought to finish under a very hard natural condition and a strict requirement for project quality. By PD Online staff member Li Yan |
