- **Transcript:** https://search.noagendashow.net/episode/1896-just-dew-it/chapter/venezuela-oil-deals-and-keystone-xl-pipeline-revival.md

U.S. energy companies, including Hunt Oil and SLB (formerly Schlumberger), have signed new deals with Venezuela to expand oil and gas production following a Houston energy conference. Simultaneously, President Trump has signaled a desire to revive the Keystone XL Pipeline, referring to it as a "zombie pipeline" that could provide economic leverage for Canada. These moves represent a broader effort to stabilize energy markets disrupted by the conflict in the Middle East.

- **Transcript:** https://search.noagendashow.net/episode/1894-fever-concerns/chapter/uae-pipeline-expansion-bypassing-the-strait-of-hormuz.md

The UAE is fast-tracking the expansion of the Habshan-Fujairah pipeline to bypass the Strait of Hormuz entirely by 2027. This strategic shift by Gulf monarchies aims to secure oil exports to the Gulf of Oman, away from Iranian interference. The hosts suggest this "chess move" will stabilize global energy prices and create a lasting legacy for the current U.S. administration's foreign policy.

President Trump shifted his policy on the Strait of Hormuz, moving from a proposed 20% transit fee to a deal involving billions in U.S. investment from Gulf allies. Meanwhile, Iran has reportedly fired on cargo ships, leading to a blockade. Analysts suggest the UAE is accelerating the use of the Fujairah port and alternative pipelines to bypass the strategic waterway.

### US Energy Exports, Secretary Chris Wright, Strait of Hormuz

- **Episode:** [1869: Trollery](https://search.noagendashow.net/episode/1869-trollery.md)
- **Published:** 2026-05-17
- **Time:** 38:43–43:51
- **Transcript:** https://search.noagendashow.net/episode/1869-trollery/chapter/us-energy-exports-secretary-chris-wright-strait-of-hormuz.md

Secretary of Energy Chris Wright outlined a strategy to bypass the Strait of Hormuz by increasing pipeline capacity through Saudi Arabia, the UAE, and Jordan. The United States is positioning itself as a net energy supplier, with plans to send American oil from Texas, Louisiana, and Alaska to China via Chinese tankers. This shift aims to reduce the strategic leverage of Iran. The discussion also touches on the "ARC" model (America, Russia, China) for global energy distribution and the potential for a back-channel agreement with Iranian leadership.

### Fujairah Port Attacks, Oil Pipeline Bypass, Gas Prices

- **Episode:** [1852: Jell-No!](https://search.noagendashow.net/episode/1852-jell-no.md)
- **Published:** 2026-03-19

- **Transcript:** https://search.noagendashow.net/episode/1852-jell-no/chapter/fujairah-port-attacks-oil-pipeline-bypass-gas-prices.md

Iranian attacks targeted the UAE port of Fujairah, a critical export point that bypasses the Strait of Hormuz. The International Energy Agency reported the largest oil supply disruption in history due to the conflict. While gas prices have risen to nearly $5.00 a gallon in some areas, the hosts suggest the situation is a strategic move to force China to pay retail prices for energy.

Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent recently mentioned a large-scale pipeline project in Alaska that could involve Japan, South Korea, and potentially China. The project aims to wean Asian nations off Russian LNG by constructing infrastructure across the Bering Strait. The hosts link this to their ongoing investigation into the "ARC" (America-Russia-China) nexus and the potential for a trans-continental tunnel.

- **Transcript:** https://search.noagendashow.net/episode/1755-rat-poop/chapter/oil-industry-frustrations-permian-basin-production.md

An "Oil Baron" source reports that domestic producers are frustrated with falling oil prices despite supporting the administration's "drill baby drill" rhetoric. While the break-even point for many American wells is around $45 per barrel, many companies are currently hedged at higher rates. The industry is primarily seeking expanded infrastructure, such as pipelines and LNG export terminals, to handle the abundance of natural gas coming from the Permian Basin.

- **Transcript:** https://search.noagendashow.net/episode/1720-psyop-season/chapter/qatar-turkey-pipeline-interests-and-the-overthrow-of-assad.md

The strategic significance of Syria's collapse is linked to a potential Qatar-Turkey gas pipeline that could replace up to 60% of Russian gas supplies to Europe. Recent agreements between President Erdogan and Qatari officials suggest a move to reshape regional energy dynamics, threatening Vladimir Putin's economic leverage. The interim Syrian Prime Minister, Mohammed al-Bashir, notably has a background in the gas industry, further fueling theories that the revolution was driven by international energy interests.

- **Transcript:** https://search.noagendashow.net/episode/1719-pod-roll/chapter/syria-libya-and-the-west-clark-7-list.md

The rapid collapse of the Syrian government is compared to the "West Clark 7" list, a reference to General Wesley Clark's claim about planned regime changes in the Middle East. Speculation arises regarding whether the sudden instability in Syria and Libya is tied to strategic oil interests or pipeline control.

Acting Deputy Secretary of State Victoria Nuland traveled to Niger for difficult diplomatic talks with the coup leaders, though she was denied a meeting with the ousted president. The geopolitical tension in the region is linked to the Trans-Saharan Gas Pipeline, which is intended to bring natural gas to Europe. The instability has already caused European natural gas prices to surge.
