SAUDI ARABIA SAW THIS SHIT COMING 45 YEARS AGO
While the entire world panicked about the Strait of Hormuz,
Saudi Arabia had a 1,200 km pipeline ready to go.
From the Persian Gulf straight to the Red Sea.
Bypassing Hormuz completely.
Built in 1981. Activated in 2026.
7 million barrels a day flowing through the desert right now.
Iran threatened to choke the world’s oil.
A quiet project from decades ago now looks like one of the smartest geopolitical energy moves ever.
Readers added context they thought people might want to know
The East-West Pipeline does exist and has a designed flow capacity of 7m bpd. But because of storage limitations at the terminals at the Port of Yanbu, the operating capacity is reduced to just 4-4.5m bpd. This barely makes up for the 20m bpd lost capacity from SOH closure.
