what happened
Abu Dhabi's state oil company ADNOC is set to finish a new crude line around January, which would double the throughput of its inland pipeline system to roughly 3.6 million barrels a day. The current line moves about 1.8 million barrels daily from fields located inland. Reuters attributes the timing to Toshiaki Takimoto, senior executive vice president at Inpex, who spoke on Thursday.
A third line is also in the plans, with completion pencilled in for around 2029. Takimoto added that Inpex could back an expansion of the UAE's crude pipeline network if asked, provided it can guarantee smooth shipments of crude in which the company holds a stake. ADNOC could not be reached for comment outside business hours.
why it matters
The project points to a longer-term rise in the UAE's ability to move crude from inland fields, rather than an immediate change in output or exports. For oil traders, extra pipeline capacity in the Gulf is a supply-side factor to watch as the timeline develops.
