Through these pipelines oil is transported from Tomsk and Tyumen (Western Siberia) to the Achinsk Oil-Refining Plant and to Irkutsk (Eastern Siberia). To increase the effectiveness of oil-refining and pipelines exploitation new technologies are used (fiberglass, pipe heating systems, alternative pipeline construction technology for regions with permafrost).

Loading facilities. Due to putting into operation “Uyar” loading facility, the service of accessorial and extra transportational activity has significantly increased. The volume of oil freight has increased as well.
