UAE accelerates work on West-East pipeline to bypass Strait of Hormuz

  • UAE plans to double Fujairah export capacity by 2027 through a new West-East pipeline.
  • The move comes as Iran’s blockade of the Strait of Hormuz continues to disrupt global oil flows.
  • Abu Dhabi is also strengthening energy ties with India through strategic crude storage deals.

The United Arab Emirates is speeding up construction of a major oil pipeline that could dramatically reduce its dependence on the Strait of Hormuz, as the Gulf region grapples with one of its worst energy disruptions in years.

The project, led by the Abu Dhabi National Oil Company (ADNOC), is designed to expand crude export capacity through Fujairah on the Gulf of Oman coast. Once completed, the pipeline network is expected to carry between 3 million and 3.6 million barrels of oil per day, effectively doubling the UAE’s current bypass capacity outside Hormuz.
