Abu Dhabi's New Pipeline Bypasses Strait of Hormuz
Description
Abu Dhabis New Pipeline: Bypassing Hormuz, Boosting Production
Abu Dhabi is accelerating construction of a new West-East pipeline to Fujairah, aiming to double its oil export capacity by 2027 and avoid the Strait of Hormuz. This move comes as global energy supplies are tight due to the Iran war, with Hormuz flows significantly reduced and UAE infrastructure targeted. Crown Prince Sheikh Khaled bin Mohamed bin Zayed Al Nahyan has urged faster construction to meet surging demand. The UAE is also leaving OPEC after 57 years and investing heavily to increase production from pre-war levels of over 3 million barrels per day to a target of 4.9 million, despite current production being around 1.8 to 2.1 million barrels per day due to the war. The existing Habshan-Fujairah line already handles up to 1.8 million barrels daily, providing Abu Dhabi with a reliable alternative route as tensions persist.
