Background

The Masila-Ash Shihr Oil Pipeline is operated by PetroMasila. The line spans 138 kilometers, measures 24 inches in diameter, and has a capacity of 325,000 bpd.

The oil industry in Yemen has been severely affected by the ongoing civil war, with crude oil exports suspended. It is likely the oil pipeline is underperforming or possibly mothballed.
