View all articles by Oil and Gas AuthorThe Druzhba (Friendship) Pipeline transports Russian crude Oil to the Visegrad countries and onward to Western Europe. The pipeline splits in Belarus into northern and southern branches. The 1-million-bbl/d capacity northern branch brings oil to Poland and Germany. The 1.2-million-bbl/d capacity southern branch splits in Uzhgorod (Ukraine), with one section going through Slovakia and the Czech Republic and the other section going to Hungary, where it connects to the Adria pipeline. The Adria pipeline in turn transfers oil to Serbia and to Croatia. In December 2002, the governments of Russia, Belarus, Ukraine, Slovakia, Hungary and Croatia signed an agreement to integrate and expand the capacity of the Druzhba and Adria pipeline systems in order to facilitate the transportation of Russian Crude Oil to the Croatian deepwater port of Omisalj. However, the 110-mile segment of the Adria mainline between Omisalj and Sisak, Croatia, can only accommodate imports. This section would need to be reconstructed in order to allow both the importing and exporting of crude oil.
