Offshore loading and unloading terminals for crude oil in Azerbaijan, Iran and Kazakstan for transshipment to the Black Sea and Persian Gulf combined with western technology's quality control and certified shipping form the basis of this crude oil export project. In-Line Constant Monitoring (ILCM) Quality Control of Crude Oil Shipments
The Caspian Offshore Oil Terminals (COOT) will also be equipped with state-of-the-art In-Line Constant Monitoring (ILCM) sampling stations.
These portable ICLMs will allow a representative sample and subsequent modifactions made before the crude arrives at the refinery or port.
Kazakstan - Iran Crude Oil Swap
Subject to Presidential Executive Order 13059 and U. S. government license number IA-15698 to Optimarket, a project is planned using the Single Point Mooring (SPM), In-Line Constant Monitoring (ILCM) and other technologies to conduct a crude oil swap with Iran. 
Optimarket purchased the Caspian Sea's first and only deep-water drilling rig, new but unfinished, in 1994. The land locked nature of the Caspian Sea had isolated most of the unexplored oil fields from the required technology and equipment necessary to fully explore, develop and unlock the economic potential of the Caspian Region.
The European Bank for Reconstruction and Development (EBRD) approved Optimarket's project plan.
The American Petroleum Institute (API) granted Optimarket exclusive rights in 1995 for all Russian translations of API specifications and designs for Sucker Rod Pumping Units in the former Soviet Union (API Specification 11E). These specifications form the basis of all API certifications for sucker rod pumping units in the world. Optimarket has also contracted with American Pump for exclusive rights in Russia and all CIS countries to all American Pump engineering and designs for all models of sucker rod pumping units.
