Goureh-Jask Crude Oil Pipeline (خط لوله نفت خام گوره - جاسک), also known as Guriyeh-Jask, Gore-Jask, and Goreh-Jask Pipeline, is an operating crude oil pipeline in Iran.[1]
Location
The pipeline starts at Goureh (Goreh, Bushehr Province, Iran) oil terminal, passes through Bandar Abbas, Hormozgan Province, Iran, and runs to the Jask port terminal in Iran.[1][2][3][4]
The pipeline will begin at the Goreh village in the Bushehr province and run to the Fars province, Hormuzgan, and to the western region of Jask Island before terminating at the new oil terminal on the Makran coast along the Sea of Oman.[5]

Background
S&P Global reported June 25, 2020 as when Iran "officially started" construction of the pipeline. But at the same event, Iranian Oil Minister Bijan Zanganeh claimed that 40% of the work at the site had been completed.[11][12]
NIOC stated in April 2020 that the pace of the project had not been slowed by the COVID-19 pandemic[2] and The Financial Tribune reported in February of 2020 that the project had reached 25% completion since construction began in 2019.[8]
Oilprice.com reported that Iran built the Goureh-Jask Crude Oil Pipeline to bypass the Strait Of Hormuz.[13] Iranian President Hassan Rouhani stated said in June 2020 that his country would be the only one whose oil exports would be completely cut if the Strait of Hormuz were closed but that the Goureh-Jask Pipeline solves this problem.[11]
Soroush Energy Company is consulting on the project.[1] The main employer is Petroleum Engineering and Development Company.
In July 2021, the project was completed and was intended to begin transmitting 300,000 bpd. By October 2021 it was expected to up to full capacity of 1 million bpd.[10]
