مصادر: السعودية تعيد تشغيل خط أنابيب شرق-غرب
(opens the publisher’s site)Saudi Arabia has resumed pumping through its East-West pipeline after drone attacks forced its closure on September 13, three informed sources told Reuters.
- Three informed sources told Reuters that Saudi Arabia has resumed operations on the East-West pipeline, with exports from the Red Sea port of Yanbu possibly restarting later Tuesday.
- Two sources said oil flow through the line is currently running at a low rate, signaling a gradual return to operations.
- Saudi Arabia closed the 1,200-kilometer line after drone strikes launched from Iraq, halting crude loading at Yanbu.
- State-owned Aramco has not responded to a request for comment on the resumption.
