Why Aramco Is Expanding Its Hormuz-Bypass Pipeline
Saudi Aramco is expanding the East-West pipeline that lets the company export crude through the Red Sea instead of the Strait of Hormuz, the chokepoint at the mouth of the Gulf through which a large share of the world's oil passes. Commentators frame the move as reducing exposure to any blockade or disruption at Hormuz amid regional tensions.
Why now: Ongoing Gulf tensions and worries about Strait of Hormuz disruption keep attention on oil export routes that bypass it.
