Petrol ₹20/ Per Litre! - The 'ONLY WAY' To Make Petrol Cheap! #shorts

Recently, because of the conflict involving Iran and other countries in the Persian Gulf, the Strait of Hormuz—a narrow sea passage used to ship oil—has been disrupted. This strait normally carries about 20% of the world’s oil supply, so any blockage immediately causes global energy concerns and rising oil prices.

Because of this risk, some people online and in business discussions have suggested bypassing the Strait of Hormuz entirely by moving oil across deserts through pipelines in countries like Saudi Arabia or the UAE and then exporting it from other coasts.

However, experts say this idea is not a complete solution and is largely unfeasible for several reasons.

First, the volume problem. The strait normally handles tens of millions of barrels of oil per day, but existing pipelines that bypass it can carry only a small fraction of that amount. For example, Saudi Arabia’s East-West pipeline can move about 5 million barrels per day, while the UAE pipeline to Fujairah carries around 1.5 million barrels per day, far less than the total oil flow through Hormuz.

Second, building new pipelines across deserts would be extremely expensive and slow. Constructing enough infrastructure to replace the strait’s capacity would cost huge amounts of money and take many years. Analysts say building pipelines big enough to fully replace the waterway would be economically unrealistic.

Third, pipelines themselves are not safe from attacks or disruptions. In past conflicts, pipelines in the Middle East have been targeted by missiles or drones, which shows that moving oil through land routes does not completely remove geopolitical risks.

Finally, geography makes bypassing difficult. Most oil fields in the Persian Gulf are located close to the coast that feeds into the Strait of Hormuz, so transporting oil across long desert distances to another coast would require massive new infrastructure networks.

In simple terms, while a few pipelines can partially bypass the Strait of Hormuz, they cannot replace it. That is why the strait remains one of the most important and sensitive oil chokepoints in the world, and any disruption there quickly affects global energy markets.
