KTC conducts inspections at facilities in the Krasnodar region
In the whirlwind of 2025, the Caspian Pipeline Consortium (CPC) has been keeping a keen eye on its facilities in the Krasnodar region, dealing with challenges that range from security threats to operational disruptions. Reminiscent of a modern-day game of cat and mouse,, CPC has recently faced a UAV attack targeting assets near the region, though details on CPC facilities were scant.
Despite these turbulent circumstances, the unyielding CPC has remained steadfast, focusing on the efficiency of its oil transport and venturing into projects dedicated to expanding pipeline capacity. At the heart of this determination is a relentless pursuit of Readiness - a continuous inspection and maintenance routine to ensure the equipment is fit for purpose.
On the safety frontier, despite specific safety inspections of CPC facilities in Krasnodar being on the down-low, the broader region has been gripped with increased vigilance. Air defense measures have been tightened to counter UAV threats, and broader safety checks related to water transport facilities handling hazardous cargoes have been conducted - though these aren't specifically targeted at CPC facilities.
CPC emphasizes environmental safety and efficiency in oil movement, and in line with this ethos, the organization has embarked upon modernization activities across its operations. A major overhaul of the aging turboaggregates, including the replacement of gas turbines, is set for the Kropotkinskaya station in 2025. Outfitting NPS-5 with new frequency converters and ongoing pipeline thermal insulation work at NPS-7 are further steps forward.
As for the Maritime Terminal, the topic du jour surrounds the full replacement of mooring structures and addressing minor issues flagged during inspections by Rostransnadzor. The importance of ensuring facility safety and forging partnerships with law enforcement agencies to thwart potential threats looms large in this discussion.
In all, while specific details on CPC facility inspections in the Krasnodar region are sparse, it's evident that the CPC is engrossed in its mission to maintain efficiency and modernize its operations. This unwavering commitment remains essential for CPC's continued role in the global oil supply landscape.
