Gulf Energy Security: Aramco, ADNOC and QatarEnergy in Wartime

How the Gulf's national oil and gas companies keep producing and exporting under wartime conditions, covering attacks on their facilities, restart and repair plans, export rerouting and storage, crisis management, and the commercial and financial impact on the companies.

Saudi Aramco, ADNOC, QatarEnergy and KPC are operating in a prolonged wartime environment in which export infrastructure outside Hormuz is now itself a target: the 27 July drone strike on Abqaiq and the 10 September attacks on the East-West Pipeline (Petroline) and Yanbu forced Aramco into restart, rerouting and financial-resilience planning.

This topic page tracks each NOC's strategy: Aramco's Petroline restart and East-West expansion EPC packages, ship-to-ship crude sales, overseas crude storage, the BlackRock strategic infrastructure platform and Mediterranean exports through Egypt's Sidi Kerir; ADNOC's West-East pipeline, Ruwais LNG schedule, 47 mtpa LNG portfolio, AI deployment and MBZ-directed crude storage beyond Hormuz; QatarEnergy's phased LNG restoration and overseas LNG reserve; and KPC's overseas storage and GCC export-route options.

Includes facility hardening, Force Majeure strategy and leadership under Prince Abdulaziz bin Salman, Amin Nasser and Sultan Al-Jaber.
