AISaudi Arabia has resumed operations on its East-West pipeline after a temporary shutdown caused by drone attacks, according to three sources cited by Reuters.
The sources said oil is currently being pumped through the pipeline at a reduced rate, and crude exports from the Red Sea port of Yanbu are expected to restart later on Tuesday.
The Kingdom was forced to close the East-West pipeline on September 13 following drone attacks, which led to a suspension of crude loading operations at Yanbu port.
