The Melut Oil Export Pipeline
PetroDar operates the Melut oil export pipeline, also known as the PetroDar Pipeline. The pipeline connects the oil fields of the Melut Basin with the refinery and export terminal located at Port Sudan on the Red Sea.
PetroDar pipeline starts from Palouge in the south of the Sudan and continues almost 1600km to the city of Portsudan. The pipeline took four years to complete with six pumping stations; Palouge, Algabaleen, Wad-shalaai, Alaylafon, Jebel Umm Ali and Musmar. All of the pumping stations are equipped with the latest in oil and gas technology to facilitate the crude oil temperature and flow until it reaches Portsudan.
