Pipeline to Salalah could work, just a bit expensive and takes a lot of time to build, and border crossings could be a diplomatic thing. But the pipeline would be an easy target for drone strikes and one as long as that is impossible to protect with anti air installations. Salalah - Oman already has a lot of harbor infrastructure (been there 4 times). But currently mostly for containers if I’m correct (last time there was 10 years ago though).
But theoretically it’s possible.
Trucks not so much, a single tanker would take thousands of trucks and there isn’t a straight and paved road through the desert. The trip would take days and loading-unloading would also take time, causing a traffic jam of oil trucks (just like the days long sewage truck traffic jam from the Burj Khalifa).

And don’t forget that ships are still stuck in the gulf.
You can’t just order an oil tanker off Amazon.
It took me roughly a day, after seeing the original version of it, to clue-in to the pipeline variant.
TigerAce, you’re quicker on the uptake than me.
