The Lanzhou–Chengdu–Chongqing Pipeline is a petroleum product pipeline in China. The pipeline is owned by PetroChina.[1]
The 1,250-kilometre (777 mi) pipeline starts at the Lanzhou terminal and finish at the Chongqing terminal. It runs through Gansu, Shaanxi and Sichuan provinces.[2] Its diameter varies from 508 millimetres (20 in) to 457 millimetres (18 in) to 323.9 millimetres (12.75 in).[2] The pipeline has capacity over 6 million tonnes of oil products per year.[3] The pipeline cost around US$500 million.[2]
After the 2008 Sichuan earthquake the pipeline was temporarily closed due to risk of flooding as the pipeline is located 60 kilometres (37 mi) downstream from Tangjiashan Lake.[1]
