Gulf LNG, Pipelines and Alternative Export Routes

The routes and infrastructure Gulf producers use to export oil and gas, covering pipelines, LNG export projects and terminals, bypass corridors that avoid the Strait of Hormuz, and new regional energy links to the Mediterranean and beyond.

The Hormuz crisis and the attacks on Saudi Arabia's East-West Pipeline have turned Gulf export geography into a security question.
