To unlock the full potential of Block 5A oilfields, a 350km tie-in pipeline has to be constructed from Block 5A, Tharjiath to Block 3D, 3E and 7E in Palouch.
The TPCOP Project
Tharjiath-Palouch Crude Oil Pipeline Ltd is a company registered in the British Virgin Island to function as a Special Purpose Vehicle (SPV) or Project Company for the Construction of the Tharjiath-Palouch Crude Oil Pipeline on a Public-Private Partnership (PPP) using a Build-Own-Operate-Transfer (BOOT) model.
The Tharjiath-Palouch Crude Oil Pipeline is a 350km pipeline that will connect Tharjiath Oilfields in Block 5A to Palouch Oilfields in Block 3&7 in the Republic of South Sudan.
The pipeline route was selected as the least costly and most robust.
Due to the viscous and waxy nature of the crude oil from Block 5A the pipeline will have Heating and Pumping Stations along the ruote.
The pipeline will be buried at a depth of 1.2m-2m to minimize impact on the environment however there will be 15 aboveground stations (pigging station, valves stations, heating station, pumping station and terminal station) facilities to support the crude flow.
