Petroleum & Energy Infrastructures Ltd.
Petroleum Energy Infrastructures Ltd. (PEI)
is the leading corporation for oil product
infrastructures in Israel. Fully owned by
the Israeli government, the company provides
state-of-the-art fuel oil infrastructure services to
the country’s entire energy market. Though serv-
ing a national mission, PEI is an economic entity
that functions according to market forces and
changing conditions in the international arena.
The company’s activities span the full spectrum
of infrastructure services, from export and im-
port, to supply, storage and piping of crude oil
and refined products to all needed clients.
In the Beginning
PEI is the heir to the Iraq Petroleum Company,
which was established in 1931 to transport oil
from Iraq via Jordan to Haifa, and on to Europe.
PEI acquired the license for this infrastructure
in the 1950s, when it was set up by the Israeli
government. The company’s storage capabili-
ties have been enlarged, pipelines expanded
and terminals constructed to meet the rapidly
expanding needs of Israel’s dynamic economy.
PEI’s piping and storage systems are deployed
throughout the country, and services are based
on uncompromising quality and reliability, as
well as highly skilled and experienced profes-
sionals. The company uses technological in-
novation in all areas of operation and places
quality of environment considerations at the
top of its agenda. PEI has a Diamond Mark
certificate for its seven quality marks: ISO
9001:2008 for OHS system, ISO 14001:2004
for Environmental management systems, ISO
18001: 2007 for control its occupational health
and safety, ISO 27001:2005 a standard for in-
formation security management, ISO 50001:
2011 for energy management system, ISO
22301 for BC management system and ISO
9301 in Safety traffic management system.
Areas of Activity
Storage: PEI stores distillates, crude oil, fuel
oil, gasoil and all other refined oil products in
underground and above-ground fuel reservoirs.
These reservoirs are constructed and operated
by the company, which takes great care in en-
suring complete separation between different
products. Storage is spread over seven termi-
nals throughout the country, and each one is
fully connected to the oil sources (refineries
and ports) and consumption areas.
Piping: Crude and refined products are con-
veyed via a nationwide network of pipelines.
PEI pumps fuel and pipes it to various custom-
ers such as refineries, airports, the Israel Elec-
tric Corp. (IEC) power stations and its own and
other distribution terminals for road tankers.
Environmental regulations are strictly adhered
to throughout the entire piping process and ev-
ery effort is made to protect the environment.
Marine Facilities: Crude oil and refined prod-
ucts are loaded and unloaded by the company
at three oil ports and access piers, preserving
the environment by treating ballast and bilge
water discharged by ships. PEI separates oil
from water and returns water, cleansed and
clear, to the sea. The company has a J.V. re-
fined products port with EAPC, and has full ac-
cess to the EAPC crude pipes to storage and
blending terminals in the north.
The company has a modern truck-loading
terminal in the south. The terminal serves the
domestic oil market as well as export to the
Gaza strip.
Strategic Reserves: PEI stores fuel inventories
for the State of Israel and supplies refined prod-
ucts to road tankers in times of emergency.
Power in Motion
To transport and handle crude oil and refined
products, PEI operates pumping stations, re-
ceiving stations, and a network of pipelines
deployed over a distance of 800 km, connect-
ing all company terminals by means of 6 to 18-
inch pipes. These pipes connect the refineries
with PEI’s storage facilities and link up with
distribution terminals such as Pi-Glilot, the
IEC’s power stations, and civilian and military
airports.
Protecting the Environment
PEI invests millions US Dollars annually to
protect the environment, applies innovative
methods and operates technologically ad-
vanced systems in order to minimize hazards.
A sophisticated command and control system
detects leaks, and a cathodic protective sys-
tem protects pipes from corrosion. Its staff is
trained to prevent pollution of seawater and
the company employs special equipment for
preserving the marine environment. In this as-
pect, the company is currently working on im-
plementing the ‘Northern Landscape Project’.
This project is an initiative especially designed
to relocate oil tank farms from the Haifa Met-
ropolitan Area to a new, safer, state of the art
facility, without increasing storage volumes.
This facility is destined to contain the oil tank
farms that are currently located at Kiryat Haim
(about 870 acers), Elroey in Kiryat Tivon and
Haifa’s Harbor (about 20 acers). This project
will allow to clear these areas for construction
and development purposes.
