New UAE pipeline bypassing Hormuz now 50% complete, ADNOC CEO says
- On Wednesday, the United Arab Emirates announced its new West-East Pipeline is nearly 50% complete, with ADNOC CEO Sultan Ahmed Al Jaber targeting full operation by 2027 to bypass the blockaded Strait of Hormuz.
- Iran has blockaded the waterway since late February, causing the loss of more than 1 billion barrels of oil and nearly 100 million additional barrels lost weekly, triggering the most severe energy supply disruption in history.
- "Right now, too much of the world's energy still moves through too few chokepoints," Al Jaber stated, warning that allowing one country to hold global waterways hostage creates a "dangerous precedent."
- Energy Secretary Chris Wright noted on Friday that the Strait's global importance will decline as Gulf nations establish alternative routes, though regional energy production remains critical.
- Al Jaber warned that oil flows will not fully normalize until the first or second quarter of 2027, while the UAE maintains $85 billion in United States investments reflecting long-term economic cooperation.
