Abstract

The purpose of our research is to identify the main maritime routes for oil from the Middle East to Europe. During this investigation, we found that the Middle East holds a substantial amount of oil reserves, with a high percentage of 63.3%, making it one of the world’s leading exporters and significantly impacting the global economy despite its conflicts, wars, political differences, and religious divisions. The Middle East is indeed a fortune of oil. We recognize that it has main routes for crude oil transport, some of which are shorter but more dangerous, while others have longer trajectories but offer greater security for the cargo.
