Saudi Arabia resumed operations of the East–West oil pipeline after a nine-day shutdown caused by drone attacks and may already restart exports from the port of Yanbu on the Red Sea in 22 September, Reuters reports, citing sources.
As of now the pipeline is not operating at full capacity; a full restoration could take several weeks.
The agency notes that before the attack — amid problems with oil shipments through the Strait of Hormuz — Saudi Arabia was pumping roughly 4 million barrels of oil per day through the East–West pipeline, which is about 4% of the total global oil market volume.
Against this backdrop, the benchmark Brent crude fell by more than $2 per barrel — to its lowest level since 8 September (Brent is currently trading at $100 per barrel).
