What specific pipeline expansion project in Abu Dhabi did TotalEnergies CEO Patrick Pouyanne announce, and what is its current capacity?

TotalEnergies CEO Patrick Pouyanne announced the company will invest in doubling the Fujairah oil export pipeline in Abu Dhabi — officially known as the Habshan-Fujairah pipeline — which currently has a capacity of up to 1.8 million barrels per day.

Why is TotalEnergies investing in alternative oil export routes like the Fujairah pipeline, according to CEO Pouyanne?

According to Pouyanne, TotalEnergies is investing in alternative routes such as the Fujairah pipeline because the Strait of Hormuz — which handles a fifth of global oil supply — has experienced paralysis due to the U.S. and Israeli war with Iran, making alternate pathways critical for continued oil transit.
