By the end of 2017, CPC plans to complete the upgrade of the integrated pipeline security system (IPSS) at Marine Terminal and in Western Region.
Upon upgrade, the equipment in operation since 2015, which fails to fully meet up-to-date communication system requirements, will be replaced with new equipment to increase the IPSS traffic and ensure its reliable operation, and high resolution cameras and intercoms will be further installed.
The data network supports the IPSS operation, data and video transmission, voice traffic for communications with MLBV sites, traffic of access controllers and intruder alarms at each CPC site.
FYI:
The CPC pipeline system is one of the largest investment projects with foreign capital in the energy sector in the CIS. The length of the pipeline connecting oil fields in Western Kazakhstan with the Marine Terminal in Novorossiysk is 1,511 km. CPC’s Marine Terminal is equipped with Single Point Moorings that allow to load tankers safely at a significant distance offshore, including bad weather conditions.
