The West-East Pipeline is now expected to be completed sometime next year.<\/p>\n<div class=\"article-paywall\">\n<p>The UAE currently relies on a single pipeline to surpass the strait \u2014 the Habshan-Fujairah pipeline \u2014 which was completed in 2012 and can transport up to 1.8 million barrels per day. The <a href=\"https:\/\/amzn.to\/3YuVZYV\" >235-mile-long pipeline transports oil<\/a> and gas from the oil and gas-rich western regions, through the desert, to the port of Fujairah on the Gulf of Oman.<\/p>\n<p>The new pipeline, if ADNOC\u2019s estimates are correct, would allow the UAE to export its current full capacity by land \u2014 the country produces 3.2 to 3.6 million barrels per day under the former OPEC quota, an organization that it left at the beginning of the month. Even at an extended capacity, however, the new pipeline, allowing it to transport roughly 3.2 million barrels per day around the Strait of Hormuz, would drastically decrease its reliance on the strait.<\/p>\n<p><strong><a target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/news\/world\/4567557\/uae-israel-anti-drone-defenses-netanyahu\/\" type=\"post\" id=\"4567557\">UAE BOOSTS TIES WITH ISRAEL TO SHORE UP ANTI-DRONE DEFENSES<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Earlier this week, ADNOC CEO Sultan bin Ahmed Jaber bashed Iran over the closure of the Strait of Hormuz, demanding its reopening without conditions or delay.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe world is already 1 billion barrels short, because of the closure of Hormuz. 1 billion barrels.
