UAE Considers Third Oil Pipeline to Bypass Strait of Hormuz
The United Arab Emirates is considering building a third crude oil pipeline from its western coast to the port of Fujairah on the eastern coast to reduce reliance on the Strait of Hormuz. This pipeline, potentially open to third-party use, would complement an existing pipeline and another under construction, enhancing the country's ability to supply oil amid regional risks. Abu Dhabi National Oil Co. has shared details with some Asian customers, though plans remain unfinalized and subject to change.
