Kuwait's Central Tenders Committee (CTC) has approved a $US167 million proposal from Swiss firm ABB Engineering Technologies Company to construct a cross country crude oil pipeline, according to Middle East business intelligence service MEED.

Under the agreement, ABB will lay a 120 km, 30 inch diameter pipeline from Kuwait Oil Company's crude oil gathering centres in northern Kuwait to a new central mixing manifold at Ahmadi.

A 60 km, 16 inch diameter pipeline will also be constructed from the existing TL 3 pipeline to the Subiya power station.

The new 120 km pipeline will include a leak detection system and metering station, along with associated instrumentation and electrical works.
