JUST IN: ๐Ÿ‡ธ๐Ÿ‡ฆ Saudi Arabia fully restores East-West oil pipeline, bypassing the Strait of Hormuz and pumping 7,000,000 barrels per day.


Three days ago on April 9, Saudi Arabia's Ministry of Energy reported that Iranian attacks cut their East-West pipeline throughput by ~700,000 barrels per day.

They also mentioned production cuts totaling 600k barrels per day at the Manifa and Khurais fields.

Today they announced that the East-West pipeline and energy facilities damaged in recent attacks have restored full operational capacity and the pipeline is now pumping ~7 million barrels per day.

Manifa field production also recovered its lost volume of about 300,000 barrels per day.

The East-West pipeline carries crude from eastern fields to the Red Sea port of Yanbu, allowing Saudi Aramco to bypass the Strait of Hormuz (due to the ongoing war in Iran).

Repairs at the Khurais field are still ongoing and the ministry said it will issue a separate announcement once Khurais returns to full production.
