Saudi Arabia aims to restart East-West pipeline
Saudi Arabia is working to repair the East-West pipeline after it was targeted by drone attacks launched from Iraq last week, which caused oil flows to stop by approximately 4 million barrels per day. Partial operations of the pipeline are expected to resume within a few days, although fully restoring its capacity could take longer, especially given the need to repair the damaged stations. The pipeline is considered a vital investment, connecting the oil-rich region to the Red Sea and enabling oil exports directly to global markets without passing through the Strait of Hormuz. This enhances Saudi Arabia’s supply security and reduces the impact of regional threats.
