ADNOC has told some Asian refiners that from early 2027 part of its offshore Persian Gulf crude will be routed via a new pipeline to Fujairah, allowing shipments to avoid the Strait of Hormuz. The company plans to deliver portions of Upper Zakum crude at the Fujairah terminal to long-term contracted customers. ADNOC said in May it was accelerating construction and that the pipeline would be completed next year but provided no further details. Deliveries will be made under annually renewed long-term supply agreements, removing the need for buyers to send tankers through a strait still exposed to the threat of Iranian attacks.
