AI Overview
United Arab Emirates.
The Abu Dhabi Crude Oil Pipeline (ADCOP), also known as the Habshan–Fujairah pipeline, allows the UAE to bypass the Strait of Hormuz. It transports up to 1.8 million barrels of crude per day from Habshan in Abu Dhabi to the port of Fujairah on the Gulf of Oman, enabling direct access to the Indian Ocean.
======================
Saudi Arabia.
The Saudi Arabia East-West Pipeline, known as Petroline, is the main oil conduit bypassing the Strait of Hormuz, linking Abqaiq on the east coast to Yanbu on the Red Sea. Spanning ~1,200 km (750 miles), this pipeline can transport 5–7 million barrels per day (mbpd), providing a critical Red Sea export route amidst the 2026 Hormuz blockade

Why have these Countries not vastly increased the capacities of these?
What is the problem????
