Saudi Arabia Restores Full Capacity of East-West Oil Pipeline After Attacks
Saudi Arabia has restored the East-West oil pipeline to its full capacity of approximately seven million barrels per day following recent attacks that had disrupted operations.
Saudi Arabia has successfully restored the East-West oil pipeline to its full capacity of approximately seven million barrels per day, the Ministry of Energy announced on Sunday. This follows recent attacks that had reduced throughput by about 700,000 barrels per day.
The Ministry also reported the recovery of production at the Manifa oilfield, which had been reduced by approximately 300,000 barrels per day due to the attacks. Efforts are ongoing to fully restore output at the Khurais oilfield, which experienced a similar reduction in capacity.
The East-West pipeline serves as a critical conduit for Saudi Arabia's oil exports, especially amid disruptions in the Strait of Hormuz. The rapid restoration of these facilities underscores the operational resilience of Saudi Aramco and the Kingdom's energy sector, enhancing the reliability and continuity of supplies to both local and global markets.
