Abstract

Shipments began this month along Oleoducto Central S.A. (Ocensa), the nearly 500 mile (800 km) 30 and 36-inch oil pipeline from central Colombia to a Caribbean Sea export site. Start-up follows installation of 700 km of new pipeline (Phase 2) to complement a 100-km segment installed in 1993-94 (Phase 1). Volumes approaching 320,000 barrels/day are departing the initial Cusiana pump station for the trip to the Covenas terminal and offshore tanker-loading facility. At full capacity by year's end, the new Ocensa system will combine with another 24-inch oil pipeline to carry 556,000 barrels/day.
