Pourquoi le pétrole augmente-t-il ? Les 10 grandes routes pétrolières du Golfe (oct. 2026)

Avec 5,8 millions de barils par jour sur une capacité de 7 millions, c'est la plus grande soupape de sécurité hors du détroit d'Ormuz, et elle n'a pas d'équivalent.

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.

Une route de contournement qui a atteint un record de 2,2 millions de barils par jour début août, dont environ 90 % de brut saoudien. C'est donc une soupape de sécurité plutôt qu'un point de faiblesse.

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.

Les outils de suivi peuvent diverger d'un facteur 4 pour la même semaine : Kpler 1,8 million de barils par jour, Vortexa 2,4 millions, AXSMarine 0,64 million.

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.

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.

Avec 1,8 million de barils par jour, c'est une véritable sortie hors du détroit d'Ormuz, qui ne passe pas par le golfe Persique. Une deuxième ligne serait accélérée pour 2027, selon les informations.

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.

Deux très gros pétroliers (VLCC) liés au Koweït ont été touchés en quatre jours, les 28 septembre et 1er octobre. Or le Koweït n'a pas d'oléoduc qui sorte du golfe Persique.

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.

Les exportations de l'Irak sont passées de 2,65 millions de barils par jour en septembre à plus de 3,4 millions en octobre. Ses pétroliers passent désormais par le détroit d'Ormuz pour la première fois depuis des décennies.

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.
