Būtingė oil terminal (Lithuanian: Būtingės naftos terminalas) is an oil terminal near the village of Būtingė in the municipality of Palanga, on the coast of the Baltic Sea in the north of Lithuania, close to the border with Latvia. It lies near the mouth of the Šventoji River. It is a part of ORLEN Lietuva, and has been in operation since July 1999.[1] It was the first major petroleum project that Lithuania implemented after it attained independence. It has been designed and built with facilities that could handle crude oil exports of 8 million tons and imports to the extent of 6 to 8 million tons.[2][3]
Planning
The project was laid out in a land area of 1,239 hectares on the Baltic Sea coast, the first of its kind on this coast.[4] It was planned, designed and implemented by Fluor Corporation. The planning and preliminary designs envisaged the refinery, a single-point offshore mooring (in the form of a floating buoy), pipe line in association with an off shore terminal provided with pipelines and pumping stations. The single-point mooring was planned to be located off the port of Klaipeda with capacity to offload up to 4932 m3/hr. Based on the initial planning and design, a contract document for a single, lump-sum turn-key, contract to be awarded on engineering, procurement, construction management (EPCM) basis was prepared. The project was contracted, by the ORLEN Lietuva, on lump-sum contract basis for a sum of US$300 million.[2][4][5]
Implementation
The EPCM part of the project contract was awarded and the work started in July 1995 and completed in July 1999.[5]
Facilities
The facilities created at Butinge are capable of handling 8 million tons of crude oil for exports and 5 to 6 million tons as import. An offshore submarine pipeline of a 36-inch diameter and 7.5 km length is built connecting to the shore facilities. A 22-inch pipeline is provided to three 50,000-m3 oil storage tanks which are floating roof tanks for crude oil storage. Pumping stations and a single-point mooring terminal have also been built. Tanks for storing diesel and slop oil are built as fixed tanks on the roof. Pumps are also built to load crude oil to tankers and transport the same over a distance of 91.5 km to the Mazeikiu Refinery of ORLEN Lietuva.[3][6]
Controversy
The terminal is somewhat controversial because of fear of oil spills, which have occurred. Since July 2006 the Būtingė oil terminal is the only way for supplying ORLEN Lietuva (former Mažeikių Nafta) with oil, because the Russian partner state controlled Lukoil corporation has cut off the supply through the Druzhba pipeline from Russia.[1][6] In spite of cutting off supply pipe line by Russia and also the bad weather conditions, its is reported that the terminal handled unloading of 9 million tons of crude oil during 2010, a 7 percent rise over the 2009 figures. This was achieved by "unloading of greater quantity of crude oil and servicing more tankers.“ It is also reported that the terminal is now ca[able of importing nearly 12 million tons of crude oil every year and tankers have capacity of nearly 150,000 tons.[6]
