Dr. Anas Al-Hajji reported that Saudi Arabia is expanding its total pipeline capacity to 10 million barrels per day to circumvent the Strait of Hormuz, including a proposed pipeline through the Empty Quarter to Oman. He stated that this infrastructure project could be completed within two to three years.
“Now they want to expend the total pipeline capacity, not only the East-West, basically, the total capacity of Saudi Arabia that circumvents Hermos to 10 million.”
“They think they can finish that within two or three years if they can finish all the paperwork and do all the studies, etc.”
