Saudi Could complete the oil pipeline from Shybah to Duqm in Oman and it's about 600km. UAE could also join it. UAE is said to be planning to start loading tankers through pipeline from their eastern sector avoiding the strait. This though is again closer to Iran. Duqm is around 400 or so km away f...

Increasingly, I am coming to view this war as America's Suez moment. Britain and France could have carried the Suez campaign militarily through, but it was their ally America, which withdrew support, and that signaled world opinion turning decisively against them. And so it feels about the US now. N...

If there is a real LPG ..... I have very high gut feeling that sooner or later there will be reports coming from KA, TN & KL of LPG shortages and how Yeevil Mudi & Co were denying the LPG cylinders and also giving misleading statements. As you said, it would be just like how the oxygen cyli...

A passage like the Panama canal or the Suez canal should be made to bypass the Hormuz straits What are you talking of? Have you seen the topography? Are you going to drill through mountains or escape a 1500 km channel across the desert? A pipeline makes sense, but even that has challenges. Any petr...

There seems no gas pipeline all the way to Oman's Duqm port. IF they had it, the loading can be done there and the ships need not have to enter Strait of Hormuz. https://www.researchgate.net/figure/Oil-and-gas-pipelines-in-the-Middle-East_fig2_372240169 https://www.researchgate.net/publication/3722...

Impact of #EpicFury on the economy already being felt. Government prioritizing domestic LPG supplies over commercial, and also increasing the wait period from 21 days to 25 days.

#EpicFury #Sindoor The Iranian low cost Shaheed drone (USD 20K) seem to be overwhelming the defenses of the GCC countries. It is not about the success rates, but the cost imposed on the enemy. Apparently the UAE for example is spending about USD 1 bn/ daily in trying to stop them . In fact for every...

This is indeed amazing news. If followed through, it kind of lets us find an asymmetric solution to our depleting squadron numbers. Once we can push through a new technology, even the IAF will jump on to the bandwagon.
