Saudi Arabia is pumping crude through its East-West Pipeline from its fields to the Red Sea port of Yanbu. The kingdom typically exports around 6 million barrels per day (bpd) through Hormuz. The pipeline can take up to 5 million bpd, but Yanbu has rarely loaded more than 2.5 million bpd.

The United Arab Emirates also has a pipeline that can transport some crude to bypass the strait. The Abu Dhabi Crude Oil Pipeline (ADCOP), known as the Habshan-Fujairah Pipeline, has a capacity of** 1.5 million bpd** and transports oil from Abu Dhabi’s fields to the port of Fujairah on the Gulf of Oman.
