Grozny–Tuapse oil pipeline

Source: Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia.

The Grozny–Tuapse oil pipeline is a 618 kilometres (384 mi) long

pipeline connecting oil fields near Grozny, Russia, with sea port Tuapse
.

Background

The pipeline was launched in 1928, designed by

pipes, both welded and weldless. In 1938, oil extraction in Krasnodar territory near Maykop began. The main pipeline was used as a products pipeline, while its end part transported oil from the Krasnodar fields to Tuapse
.

The pipeline was built in a move for the country to export as much oil as possible to bring in foreign currencies, as part of the First Five-Year Plan.[1] Since 1894, the oil was transported out of Grozny through train carriage.[2]
