the flammable liquid produced in the upper crust of the earth will surely be transported safely through the numerous mantle layers and outer core of the earth
Just keep it under immense pressure the whole time, ez
This will definitely work for diesel too, trust
the heat will Make it flow faster
When the person trudging through the desert in front of you gets hit by a missile, you pick up their oil and keep moving
and like missiles can’t just like, hit the ports
The Omanis have been considered a neutral party in this conflict and Iran has denied responsibility for every attack in this war that has occurred on their territory.
Much more plausibly, the UAE has a pipeline that terminates at an oil port in Oman. I personally do not expect the Iranians to attack this port, even though it will allow the UAE to export oil without passing through the strait of Hormuz.
The parts of the pipeline in the UAE though…I wouldn’t escalate if I were them
EDIT: Fact checked myself, the port of Fujairah in the Gulf of Oman is actually UAE territory
That’s why the US has a robust air defense system in the region that—
*checks notes*
Oh. Hmm yeah I dunno
The emiratis did try to do this but with a pipeline instead but the Iranians just bombed the outer port lol
A pipeline is, if anything, MORE vulnerable than a strait. It’s impossible to protect the whole thing.
Lmao liberals discovering why pipelines exist is funny af it will never get old to me
Why would you ever go with the uncool truck solution while this solution is on the table??
You cant make movies like that anymore coz of woke.
so Herzog hired Kinski, with whom he had previously clashed violently during production of Aguirre, the Wrath of God (1972), Nosferatu the Vampyre (1979), and Woyzeck (1979). Their fourth collaboration fared no better. When shooting was nearly complete, the chief of the Machiguenga tribe, whose members were used extensively as extras, asked Herzog if they should kill Kinski for him, though Herzog declined.
Herzog L.
Ridiculous.
The obvious solution is bucket chain. It works out logistically as well, no need for infrastructure you see, the buckets are the infrastructure! After nth number of buckets of oil have been sent, you simply send one with water, one with food and a third bucket for shitting and pissing in. The sewage is dumped into the ocean at the end. You can even transport people in the buckets down the line for shift changes.
Also, It creates jobs and a bucket demand, stimulating the local economy.
Admittedly, I haven’t figured out the bucket return logistics yet.
There is a paved overland route, from Abu Dhabi to Al Ashkharah. About 773 km or 8 hrs according to Google maps. Now you just need to build a shipping terminal (I’m assuming Al Ashkharah doesn’t have the infrastructure in place) and enough trucks for 20% of daily global oil consumption. One ship holds about 2 million barrels, so that’s just (on the basis of some googling) 7,246 standard truckloads per ship, times an average of 100 transits per day is 724,600 trucks. I’m sure they won’t mind the extra traffic.
Might get a little hairy around the Al Salam Grand Resort, though.
Plus: that roadway is in range of shahed drones, and so shipment convoys could be easily attacked.
I’m disappointed in everyone in this subthread for not trying to work trains into this.
They understand that we’re talking about American problem-solving here.
