State-owned Abu Dhabi National Oil Co., or Adnoc, has reportedly been telling customers in Asia about the pipeline, which could run from the UAE's western coast to the port of Fujairah. However, the plans, including the route, could still change. Adnoc did not immediately respond to a request for comment from MT Newswires.
