Thai oil pipeline operator BFPL (Bangchak subsidiary) conducted comprehensive testing on the Fuel Road oil pipeline after oil-contaminated water was found in drainage systems. Pressure tests at 28 barg for 1 hour showed no abnormal pressure drops or leaks. The company will conduct additional ultrasonic scanning (UT), radar scanning, and intelligent pig inspection across 1km of pipeline before seeking Department of Energy approval to resume operations. This addresses operational continuity for oil transport while maintaining safety standards under multiple regulatory oversight.
