The Grozny–Tuapse oil pipeline is a 618 kilometres (384 mi) long pipeline connecting oil fields near Grozny, Russia, with sea port Tuapse.
The annual throughput of the pipeline along with its 11 pumping stations was 1.5 million tons.
It used 10 inches (250 mm) pipes, both welded and weldless.
In 1938, oil extraction in Krasnodar territory near Maykop began.
The pipeline was built in a move for the country to export as much oil as possible to bring in foreign currencies, as part of the First Five-Year Plan.
