Saudi Arabia restarts East-West oil pipeline after drone attacks
–
Neutral summary
Saudi Arabia has restarted its East-West oil pipeline, which links the kingdom's eastern oil fields to the Red Sea port of Yanbu, according to three sources familiar with the matter. The pipeline was shut down on September 13 after drone attacks halted crude loadings at Yanbu. Reuters reported that oil is currently flowing through the pipeline at reduced volumes, and exports could resume as early as Tuesday, September 22. Satellite imagery analyzed by Wirtschaftswoche showed repair work at pump station 11 progressing rapidly, though the station itself remains destroyed. The pipeline restart, along with reports of talks between the US and Iran, pushed oil prices down: Brent fell below the symbolic $100 mark to $98.41, while WTI dropped to $89.23 per barrel. According to CNBC, prices fell to a two-week low amid hopes for a diplomatic solution to the Middle East conflict.
