The project would provide an oil receiving port and overland transport of crude oil by pipeline to five inland refineries and to Hungary and Czechoslovakia. On completion, the installations would have a capacity of 20 million tons annually.

The overland transport facilities would include: 736 km of main pipeline varying in size from 12 to 36 inches and lateral pipelines to refineries, 7 pump stations, 2 maintenance depots, 1 pressure reduction station, 4 buffer oil storage tank farms (with a total capacity of 153,500 tons), and an existing 16 inch pipeline to be incorporated into the system. The project would also include a supervisory control system using telecommunications, telemetering and telecontrol systems and engineering services for design, project planning and the supervision of construction.
