Saudi Arabia oil prices fall amid supply mitigation efforts

Oil prices declined on Thursday as concerns regarding Middle East supply disruptions eased. Brent crude futures fell by $1.24 to $104.59 per barrel, while West Texas Intermediate (WTI) dropped by $1.14 to $101.29 per barrel.

Market anxiety was mitigated by reports that Saudi Arabia is offering additional crude shipments through Oman to bypass supply constraints. This follows an attack on the 1,200-kilometer East-West pipeline, which previously transported between 4 and 5 million barrels of oil daily, representing 4% to 5% of global supply.

Aramco is working to repair the damaged pipeline, with goals to restore half of its operational capacity within days and full capacity within approximately six weeks. Despite the price drop, geopolitical tensions in the region remain a factor for market volatility.
