The Amukpe-Escravos Pipeline Project (AEPP) is a 20”X67km Crude Oil pipeline which serve as an alternative to the existing Seplat/Shell 24”/28” export pipeline to Forcados.

This pipeline is installed using the Continuous Horizontal Directional Drilling (CHDD) method to discourage vandalism and community restiveness along its ROW. Even though this pipeline is designed to transport Pan Ocean crude, it also accommodates other neighbouring producers (injectors) on basis of a tariff.

The Amukpe-Escravos Pipeline construction and installation started on October 15, 2011. The pipeline has 160,000 bopd capacity. The pipeline is designed to ANSI ASME 31.4 with a design pressure of 1480 psi (102 bar) 600# class rating. The project is expected to be commissioned in Q1 2018.
