The China Petroleum Pipeline Engineering Co., Ltd. (CPP) operates as a subsidiary under the China National Petroleum Corporation and serves as the leading pipeline construction firm within China. This enterprise has been responsible for building a significant portion of the nation's transcontinental pipeline network and has successfully delivered numerous large-scale international pipeline projects.

Projects

  • Habshan–Fujairah oil pipeline, a crude oil pipeline with a capacity of 1.5 million barrels per day, extending from Habshan in Abu Dhabi to Fujairah. This project was executed by CPP in partnership with China Petroleum Engineering and Construction Corporation, under a contract valued at US$3.29 billion. The construction phase spanned from March 2008 until March 2011.
  • East West Gas Pipeline, an essential natural gas conduit within India.
  • China-Russia East Route Natural Gas Pipeline, which links gas fields in Russia’s Far East through the Sakhalin–Khabarovsk–Vladivostok and the planned Power of Siberia pipelines to Shanghai, China. CPP has managed the Chinese portion of this pipeline since 2015.

Borneo and Malacca-Johor

In August 2018, the Malaysian government led by Pakatan Harapan terminated a CPP pipeline development amid allegations of corruption, claims that CPP has denied. At the time of termination, only 13% of the project had been completed, although payments disbursed corresponded to approximately 80% progress. Subsequently, in July 2019, Malaysian officials confiscated $243.5 million from CPP as compensation for the incomplete works. The canceled initiatives encompassed two pipelines on mainland Malaysia and Borneo, each valued at over $1 billion, as well as a $795 million pipeline connecting Malacca to a Petronas refinery located in Johor.
