핵심요약

• 사우디아라비아, 호르무즈 위기 시 하루 700만 배럴 동서 파이프라인 활용
• 아랍에미리트, 내년 말까지 하루 360만 배럴 파이프라인 용량 두 배 확장 예정
• 이라크, 페르시아만 수출의 90% 취약성으로 파이프라인 용량 증설 추진
• 호르무즈 해협 차단 위기, 중동 국가들의 대체 유통로 구축 필요성 부각

도입

호르무즈 해협 차단 위기는 중동 국가들의 에너지 유통 구조에 큰 변화를 가져왔습니다. 특히 사우디아라비아와 아랍에미리트의 파이프라인 확장은 향후 에너지 시장 안정성에 중요한 영향을 미칠 전망입니다. 이 변화는 투자자에게 중동 에너지 인프라의 리스크 관리 전략을 재검토할 필요가 있음을 시사합니다.

본문 1: 사우디아라비아의 동서 파이프라인 활용

사우디아라비아는 호르무즈 해협 차단 위기 시 하루 700만 배럴의 원유 유통로를 동서 파이프라인으로 변경했습니다. 이 파이프라인은 원래 더 낮은 용량을 처리하던 시설이었으나, 위기 상황에서 급격히 용량을 늘렸습니다. 이는 사우디아라비아가 지정학적 리스크를 관리하기 위해 선제적으로 인프라를 구축해온 결과입니다. 향후 사우디아라비아의 에너지 수출 구조가 더 다양한 유통로를 바탕으로 안정화될 가능성이 높습니다.

본문 2: 아랍에미리트의 파이프라인 확장 계획

아랍에미리트는 호르무즈 해협 차단 위기를 계기로 파이프라인 용량을 하루 180만 배럴에서 360만 배럴로 두 배로 늘릴 예정입니다. 이 계획은 내년 말까지 완료될 예정이며, 이는 중동 국가들이 에너지 유통로의 다각화를 위해 적극적으로 인프라를 투자하고 있음을 보여줍니다. 아랍에미리트의 파이프라인 확장은 향후 에너지 시장 변동성에 대한 대응력을 높일 것으로 전망됩니다.

본문 3: 이라크의 취약성과 대응

이라크는 페르시아만으로 90%의 원유 수출이 이루어지는 취약성을 가지고 있습니다. 호르무즈 해협 차단 위기는 이라크에게 파이프라인 용량 증설의 필요성을 강조했습니다. 이라크는 현재 파이프라인 용량 확장을 추진 중이며, 이는 향후 에너지 수출 구조의 안정화에 기여할 것으로 예상됩니다.

결론

호르무즈 해협 차단 위기는 중동 국가들이 에너지 유통로의 다각화를 위해 적극적으로 인프라를 투자하고 있음을 보여주었습니다. 사우디아라비아, 아랍에미리트, 이라크의 파이프라인 확장은 향후 에너지 시장 안정성에 중요한 영향을 미칠 전망입니다. 투자자는 중동 에너지 인프라의 리스크 관리 전략을 재검토할 필요가 있으며, 향후 파이프라인 확장이 에너지 시장 변동성에 미치는 영향을 지속적으로 모니터링해야 합니다.

Hormuz Crisis Sparks a Middle East Pipeline Boom - Crude Oil Prices Today | OilPrice.com

The blockading of the Strait of Hormuz was something that was never going to happenuntil it did, paralyzing a fifth of global LNG and crude oil flows and causing quite a bit of economic pain to both producers and consumers of energy commodities. Now, they are taking care to never let a disruption of that scale happen again. The most immediate response to Iran's closure of the strait was switching to alternative pipeline routes for those that had them. Saudi Arabia demonstrated foresight with its East-West pipeline that it used to reroute its export flows from the Persian Gulf to the Red Sea, ramping up to some 7 million barrels of crude daily along the pipe that had previously handled much lower volumes. The only major constraint in that rerouting was the capacity of the loading facilities at Yanbu Port, an issue Aramco will no doubt address soon. It is worth noting that the risk of Iran closing off the Strait of Hormuz was precisely what made Saudi Arabia decide to build the East-West pipeline in the first place, back in the 1980s, as Reuters' energy columnist Ron Bousso noted in an overview of alternative oil and gas routes out of the Middle East in the aftermath of the Hormuz crisis. Meanwhile, its neighbor and former fellow OPEC member, the UAE, will have to build a new pipeline to insulate itself from potential future Hormuz trouble. The country already has one pipeline that ships oil to the port of Fujairah, which sits right outside the Strait of Hormuz, but it now plans to double its capacity with a new pipe, from 1.8 million barrels daily to 3.6 million barrels dailyand it wants to do it fast. The new pipeline is scheduled to be ready by the end of next year. Related Equinor to Boost Troll Gas Output with $412 Million Subsea Development Iraq is also trying to boost its pipeline capacity. More than 90% of Iraq's oil exports traditionally move through the Persian Gulf, making the country especially vulnerable to Hormuz disruptions. Exports that averaged more than 3.3 million bpd before the conflict collapsed to a fraction of that level, triggering a sharp decline in government revenues and forcing Baghdad to prioritize domestic energy security over export volumes. Production plummeted from over 4 million barrels daily to barely over 1 million bpd. Like its neighbor, the UAE, Iraq is looking to ramp up its existing pipeline infrastructure, specifically the Kirkuk-Ceyhan pipeline that handles oil flows from Iraq's northern fields. The pipeline currently has a capacity of around 200,000 barrels daily, but Baghdad is taking steps to increase this to some 770,000 barrels daily, and wants to do it in months. Then, Iraq is also considering a network of other pipelines to Mediterranean ports in Syria and Jordan as a way of bypassing Hormuz and the risk of future disruptions of tanker traffic there. There is a separate initiative to build a pipeline network connecting the Middle East's oil fields to port cities in the Mediterranean, with Turkey and Syria becoming major regional energy export hubs. "The post-Assad stabilization of Syria opens a narrow but historically decisive window to transform the Levant from a theater of energy conflict into a continental energy corridor," the organization behind the idea, a think tank named the New Lines Institute, said. One could argue that the takeover by former radical militants is perhaps best not described as stabilization, but it appears the people currently in charge of Syria are eager to make money from energy. "The Four Seas Initiative would deliver four compounding strategic goods European energy sovereignty from Russian and Iranian dependence; American commercial primacy in the Middle East's most strategically leveraged infrastructure; Syrian economic reconstruction underwritten by transit revenues; and a durable geopolitical settlement that rewards alignment with the West,"the New Lines Institute also said. Turkey is already working to turn itself into a regional energy hub, especially in natural gas. The Four Seas Initiative will fit well with that Ankara strategy, which, however, also includes transiting Russian gas. The initiative is seen costing some $10 billionmoney that energy exporters would likely consider well spent if they minimize the risk of suffering losses from other countries' geopolitical decisions. There are, however, those who face a more uphill battle to secure more independence for their oil and gas exports. Kuwait and Qatar will have to rely on neighboring countries and their pipelines to bypass Hormuz, Reuters' Bousso wrote in his report, because they lack such infrastructure at home. For Qatar, this is far from perfect due to tensions with the UAE and Saudi Arabiaon which it would have to rely should it want to reduce its dependence on Hormuz. On the other hand, the risk of a repeat of the Hormuz scenario that was never going to happen is, at the moment, quite slimunless hostilities resume, that is. By Irina Slav for Oilprice.com
