The United Arab Emirates announced that it will accelerate the construction of a new oil pipeline to double its oil export capacity through the port of Fujairah by 2027. This move will significantly enhance Abu Dhabi's ability to bypass the Strait of Hormuz.

On Friday, May 25, the Abu Dhabi Media Office announced that Sheikh Khalid bin Mohammed bin Zayed, the Crown Prince of Abu Dhabi, has instructed the Abu Dhabi National Oil Company, ADNOC, to expedite the implementation of the "West to East" pipeline project. According to this entity, the pipeline is currently under construction and is expected to be operational by 2027.

The UAE government statement did not mention the initial timeline for this project.

The current Abu Dhabi crude oil pipeline, known as "Habshan-Fujairah," has a capacity to transport up to 1.8 million barrels of oil per day and plays a significant role in increasing the direct oil exports of the UAE from the shores of the Sea of Oman.
