Description | A proposed oil pipeline running from the oil fields of Basra in Iraq, through Jordan, and extending to Egypt's Mediterranean coast. The pipeline aims to provide an alternative export route for Iraqi crude oil, bypassing the volatile Strait of Hormuz and the Red Sea chokepoints. The project has been discussed and studied since 1983 but has faced repeated delays due to war, political instability, and regional conflicts. The pipeline is intended to have a capacity of 2.25 million barrels per day in its first phase, with a second phase adding one million barrels per day capacity, totaling 3.25 million barrels per day. |
