On July 15, the commissioning ceremony of Abu Dhabi Crude Oil Pipeline project was held at the Fujairah Port where the pipeline's land terminal station is located. The project, with CNPC as the EPC contractor, integrates land and marine sections and is capable of transporting 75 million tons of crude oil annually. Managing Director of International Petroleum Investment Co. (IPIC) Khadem Abdulla Al Qubaisi hosted the ceremony. Mohamed bin Dhaen al-Hamli, Minister of Energy of the United Arab Emirates (UAE) and Huang Jiemin, Chinese ambassador to the UAE were also present and spoke highly of the project. CNPC Chairman Jiang Jiemin delivered congratulation to H. H. Shaikh Mansour Bin Zayed Al Nahyan, Deputy Prime Minister of the UAE and IPIC Chairman through phone call. CNPC Vice President Yu Baocai attended the ceremony.

At the end of November 2008, IPIC and CNPC's China Petroleum Engineering & Construction Corporation (CPECC) signed EPC contract with a total contract price of USD 3.29 billion. The Pipeline, from the Habshan Oilfield in the West to the Fujairah Port in the East, has a total length of 424.22 km, of which 405.36 km is on land with a diameter of 1,219 mm; and 18.86 km is offshore including 13.46 km submarine section. The designed rated delivery capacity is 1.5 million barrels per day which will be loaded through marine single point moorings. The first shipment of exported crude oil was loaded on July 5, 2012.

During construction, the project registered the local best record with no fatality, no environmental, medical and transportation accident for 50 million man hours. Thanks to the technology management standards which are more stringent than international ones, all qualified rates have reached to 100%.
