 On 2 March 1998, Chevron Corporation agreed to reconstruct existing Khashuri–Batumi pipeline and construct Dubandi (Baku)–Khashuri pipeline.However, in May 2001 Chevron canceled this project and started to ship its oil from Tengiz Field through the CPC pipeline.Kazakhstan's national oil company KazMunayGas, owner of the Batumi Oil Terminal, has shown interest to build the new Baku–Batumi pipeline, which together with proposed Trans-Caspian and Batumi–Constanţa connections would allow to supply KazMunayGas oil refineries in Romania (Rompetrol) and planned refinery in Batumi.
