Background
The pipeline travels from the Ayad-Shabwa block to the Bir Ali terminal on the Gulf of Aden. The pipeline has a capacity of 135,000 bpd and is 207 kilometers long.[3][4]
The oil industry in Yemen has been severely affected by the ongoing civil war, with crude oil exports suspended since 2022.[5]
As a result, the pipeline is considered largely idle.[2]
Incidents
In April 2012, militants that were reportedly linked to Al-Qaeda attacked the pipeline in the al-Saeed area.[6]
