The call stands as issued — no revisions.
What would overturn it
A public ADNOC/UAE government announcement of the pipeline entering commercial service by the deadline confirms the call; an announced schedule slip past 2027 overturns it.
The verdict
Open Resolves by 31 Dec 27 — graded at the weekly Reckoning against the criteria above, and recorded here.
As logged at issue
Gulf chokepoint: the UAE's second Hormuz-bypass pipeline, already about half built, will likely be operational by the end of 2027 on ADNOC's own timeline, doubling Fujairah's export capacity; a public schedule slip past 2027 would be the signal this call was too optimistic.
