Again this nonsense; Don't selectively quote from one source which is dishonest.

That link and the other sources i had provided contain more data which you are intentionally obfuscating.

There are already a few existing bypass pipelines and older ones are being recommissioned in addition to planned new ones. For your edification, here is a short reuters note on existing and proposed (does not list all) pipelines bypassing Hormuz - https://www.reuters.com/business/energy/alternative-routes-m...

Finally, note that capacities of existing pipelines can also be increased by using techniques like "Drag Reducing Agents" (DRA) amongst others.

How fortuitous of you to provide me with more ammo to prove my point. :-)

All the 'possible alternative routes' remain in 'conceptual' stage. The east/west and Fujeirah pipelines are operational, and, as discussed before, insufficient. That was my whole point (especially w.r.t. to UAE).

The KIRKUK-CEYHAN pipeline is middling (170k barrels/day, up to 250k) and does not help UAE at all.

The Goreh-Jask pipeline is in IRAN! (an not really operational), does not help UAE at all.

Don't you read with comprehension? Don't you see that this is another irrelevant reference that does not address my point at all?

Nice attempt to make a sneaky about-turn! But you cannot appropriate my points as yours since the evidence is right there.

> That was my whole point (especially w.r.t. to UAE).

BS. Your point was nothing but just arguing for the sake of it. No sources, no idea of absolute vs. relative output, no idea of what exists today, no idea of technologies which can increase output within the existing pipeline (do you even know what DRA is?), no idea of the scale of investment for infrastructure building (since last 10 years!) etc. etc.

Repeating points from my sources does not mean you understand them. Your obtuseness and lack of comprehension is on full display here since in the last comment i actually gave the source for all possible Hormuz bypasses by gulf countries so far. The exact phrase i used was; here is a short reuters note on existing and proposed (does not list all) pipelines bypassing Hormuz. This was pointing to the entire region. Note that the previous sources had also shown these in their maps. You can't even understand when i am talking about the gulf region as a whole vs when i am talking about UAE specific. This is the very definition of obtuseness.

Even Proverbs 17:28 is not applicable to you!
