Saudi Arabia resumes oil exports via East-West Pipeline

Saudi Aramco East-West Pipeline crude oil exports Strait of Hormuz Red Sea

Saudi Aramco has resumed oil shipments through the East-West Pipeline, restoring a critical export route to the Red Sea following repairs from drone attacks on September 10. The pipeline, which connects the Eastern Province to the port of Yanbu, is currently operating at approximately 3.5 million barrels per day, roughly half of its 7 million barrel daily capacity.

This restoration provides a vital bypass to the Strait of Hormuz, reducing reliance on the sensitive maritime chokepoint. While the pipeline is flowing to refineries, some reports indicate that tanker loading at Yanbu has not yet fully resumed as the company builds up a critical mass of volumes.

Simultaneously, Saudi Arabia has increased crude loading at Ras Tanura, with volumes rising from 1.5 million to 6.5 million barrels per day in September. This dual-route strategy aims to stabilize global energy supplies and mitigate the impact of regional tensions. However, security concerns remain, particularly regarding threats from Houthi rebels in the Red Sea.
