ADNOC has been impacted by disruptions stemming from the Strait of Hormuz, prompting acceleration of plans for a pipeline bypass. The UAE has also employed ship-to-ship transfers outside the strait to facilitate $LNG+WL shipments. The company has previously warned that the impact of energy supply disruptions could extend to 2027.

Middle East energy supply
A major energy company in the Middle East is still shipping natural gas even though tensions in a critical shipping lane are high. Investors care because supply disruptions in this region can quickly drive up energy prices worldwide.
What changed
ADNOC maintained LNG exports from the Persian Gulf despite security threats in the Strait of Hormuz by employing stealth tactics and alternative logistics.
Who wins / who loses
Alternative natural gas exporters and logistics providers benefit from Persian Gulf supply concerns, while importers relying on uninterrupted Gulf shipments face rising supply risks.
Time horizon
Think in terms of the next few weeks.
