New UAE oil pipeline bypassing Hormuz 50% complete ahead of 2027 start
DUBAI: The UAE's new crude pipeline bypassing the Strait of Hormuz is about 50% complete, the head of ADNOC stated on Wednesday, adding that global oil flows may take at least four months to recover to 80% of pre-dispute levels after the Iran conflict ends.
Tehran has largely kept the waterway critical for global oil and gas supplies shut to all ships other than its own since US-Israeli strikes on February 28, sending energy prices and price-rise surging and fanning fears of an economic downturn.
The Abu Dhabi Press Office revealed the existence of the new West-East Pipeline scheme last week, saying Crown Prince Sheikh Khaled bin Mohamed bin Zayed directed province-owned oil giant ADNOC to fast-track its construction in command to double export capacity via the port of Fujairah by 2027.
"Today, it's already almost 50% complete, and we are accelerating its delivery toward 2027," Sultan Al Jaber stated during a live-streamed Atlantic Council event, among his most extensive general remarks since the conflict began.
"Right now, too much of the world's energy still moves through too few choke points. That is exactly why the UAE made the ruling more than a decade ago to invest in general facilities that bypasses the Strait of Hormuz."
