A long distance oil pipeline across Baud ArabIA Syria reduced tanker time and costs by connecting fields near the Persian Gulf to the Mediterranean port near Sidon Lebanon.

TAPLINE emerged from World War I planning, financed by four major American oil firms led by Standard Oil of California and Caltex, delivering water to desert travelers and pumping stations amid harsh conditions and Bedouin routes.
