Oil pipeline and tanker
Oil pipeline and tanker. This structure is designed for loading oil onto tankers directly from an oil pipeline. This harbour is Primorsk, on Russias Baltic Sea coast, and the pipeline is the Baltic Pipeline System, which carries oil from the oilfields of northern Russia, Western Siberia and the Urals region, to Primorsk Oil Terminal. The pipeline construction was completed in 2001, and in April 2006 it reached its maximum capability of 1.3 million barrels of oil a day. Photographed on 7 April 2006

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the impressive infrastructure of an oil pipeline and tanker, capturing a pivotal moment in Russia's energy industry. Located in Primorsk, a bustling harbor on the Baltic Sea coast, this structure is specifically designed to load oil directly onto tankers from the extensive Baltic Pipeline System. Completed in 2001, this monumental pipeline stretches across vast regions of northern Russia, Western Siberia, and the Urals region. Its purpose? To transport precious crude oil from these rich oilfields to the Primorsk Oil Terminal with remarkable efficiency. Taken on April 7th, 2006 by Science Photo Library, this image perfectly encapsulates the power and technological advancements employed within this industrial marvel. With its intricate piping system and state-of-the-art equipment, it symbolizes not only Russia's prowess in fossil fuel logistics but also their commitment to harnessing energy resources for economic growth. The significance of this photograph lies not only in its depiction of cutting-edge technology but also as a testament to how transportation plays a vital role in global energy markets. As one gazes upon this scene filled with towering tanks and mighty vessels ready for loading and transporting massive amounts of oil each day (reaching a maximum capability of 1.3 million barrels), it becomes evident that such infrastructural feats are essential components driving our modern world forward into the 21st century. In summary, Science Photo Library has masterfully captured an awe-inspiring snapshot showcasing both Russian ingenuity and industrial might through their portrayal of an oil pipeline
