¿Por qué sube el petróleo? Las 10 rutas petroleras clave del Golfo (oct. 2026)

Con 5,8 millones de barriles diarios de una capacidad de 7 millones, es la mayor válvula de escape desde Ormuz, y no tiene ninguna otra igual.

5 million bpd design capacity serves as the primary regional relief valve, but leaves 2.0 million bpd unused spare capacity

Saudi Arabia's 7 million b/d Red Sea lifeline is pumping at near maximum capacity to bypass the Strait of Hormuz, moving more crude than many nations produce.

A pipeline rated at 7 million b/d that ends at berths that can load only ~4.5 — the quay, not the pipe, sets the ceiling.

Resilience 6.8/10 — built for 5 million b/d, expanded to 7 million b/d, actually moving 5.8 million b/d on 6 October; the escape hatch is running near its limit.

Una ruta alternativa que alcanzó un récord de 2,2 millones de barriles diarios a principios de agosto, de los cuales cerca del 90% era crudo saudí; es, por tanto, una válvula de seguridad y no un punto de fallo.

4.5 million bpd crude and refined flow protected by a 2.5 million bpd parallel pipeline bypass

Egypt's twin 42-inch pipes move 2.5 million barrels a day across the desert, catching the oversized tankers that simply cannot fit through the Suez Canal.

SUMED's 2.5 million b/d lets Saudi crude skip Bab el-Mandeb — but only westward, while 82% of Hormuz crude is bound east.

Resilience 5.5/10 — SUMED can move 2.5 million b/d of crude north through Egypt, but it cannot carry the products that also use Suez.

Los distintos rastreadores difieren hasta 4 veces en la misma semana: Kpler 1,8 millones de barriles diarios, Vortexa 2,4 millones y AXSMarine 0,64 millones.

Red Sea export hub capable of 4.5 million bpd, currently operating at 3.1 million bpd load rate

Fed by the East-West pipeline, this Red Sea port is Saudi Arabia's western safety valve, though its offshore loading buoys remain vulnerable to Houthi drone swarms.

En su propia lista tiene otro nombre: abre la lista completa.

Resilience 6.2/10 — Yanbu handled 93% of Saudi exports in June at 4.29 million b/d; by early October it was down to 2.34 million b/d.

Con 1,8 millones de barriles diarios es una salida de tamaño completo desde el estrecho de Ormuz que queda fuera del golfo, y, según se informa, una segunda línea se está adelantando para 2027.

Bypasses Hormuz with 1.5 million bpd capacity, offering 600,000 bpd of active spare volume

The UAE's 1.5 million b/d escape hatch sits safely outside the Gulf, though recent drone strikes proved that bypass terminals are just as vulnerable as the waterways they avoid.

The only Gulf exit that opens onto open water — Fujairah ran at 98% of pipeline capacity while Hormuz itself sat nearly empty.

Resilience 7.2/10 — the UAE’s only Hormuz bypass can move 1.5–1.8 million b/d, roughly 7–9% of the 20.9 million b/d that normally uses the strait.

Dos superpetroleros (VLCC) vinculados a Kuwait fueron alcanzados en cuatro días (28 de septiembre y 1 de octubre), y Kuwait no tiene oleoducto para salir del golfo.

2.0 million bpd export capacity constrained entirely within the northern Persian Gulf basin

Kuwait's primary export port loads 1.5 million barrels daily with no overland escape route, leaving the nation's entire economy afloat on a single, contested strait.

The one Gulf producer whose oil minister said exports were 'zero' while the strait stayed blocked — now crawling back through Indian ship-to-ship transfers.

Las exportaciones de Irak subieron de 2,65 millones de barriles diarios en septiembre a más de 3,4 millones en octubre, y ahora envía petroleros por Ormuz por primera vez en décadas.

Iraq's 3.3 million b/d shrank to 0.16 at the peak — and its one bypass pipeline cannot carry a single southern barrel.

Handling 90% of Iran's crude exports, this terminal has zero pipeline backup, making every barrel hostage to the narrow shipping lanes of the northern Gulf.

The only major exporter with its own Hormuz bypass it barely uses — 300,000 b/d of capacity against 1.7 million b/d of exports, most of it idle.
