Saudi Energy Minister Abdulaziz said flows through the kingdom’s east‑west oil
pipeline reached about 5.8 mln bpd as of Tuesday morning. He said the line was
restored within five to six days after being shut following a drone attack from
the direction of Iraq on Sept. 10. A source said last week that state oil
company Aramco had lifted throughput to nearly 6.0 mln bpd, above 80% of
capacity, with roughly 4.5 mln bpd available for export via Yanbu on the Red Sea
coast.
