The Ocensa pipeline (Oleoducto Central) is a crude oil pipeline in Colombia. It starts on the Cusiana and Cupiagua oilfields and runs to Coveñas on Colombia's Caribbean coastline. It is owned by the consortium of Ecopetrol, BP, Total S.A., Petrominerales and Triton Colombia.[1][2]
Technical description
The pipeline is 829 kilometres (515 mi) long. It has capacity of 650 thousand barrels per day (~3.2×107 t/a).[1] The pipeline is connected with the 235-kilometre (146 mi) long ODL pipeline (Oleoductos de Los Llanos), which transports oil from the Rubiales heavy oil field in Los Llanos Basin.[3]
Partnerships
In January 2010 Pacific Rubiales Energy signed a 10-years contract to use the pipeline for transporting up to 160 million barrels (25×106 m3) of oil over 10 years.[4]
