Design changes have pushed the completion date of the Abu Dhabi Crude Oil Pipeline (ADCOP) project by six months, Reuters has reported, citing sources close to the project. The 370-km pipeline with a capacity of 1.5 million barrels per day (bpd), which was slated for completion by year-end, would allow the UAE to boost exports from its Fujairah terminal on the Gulf of Oman. "The completion will not be before the second half 2011," a senior official of China Petroleum Engineering and Construction Corp, the engineering, procurement and construction contractor (EPC) for the project said.
