Saudi Arabia restores full capacity on East-West oil pipeline to 7 million bpd after attacks

Saudi Arabia has restored full oil pumping capacity through the East-West pipelineto about seven million barrels per day, it said on Sunday, days after providing an assessment of damage on its energy sector from attacks during the Iran war.

The ministry said energy facilities and the pipeline affected by attacks during the conflict have recovered and restored operational capacity.

It added that it recovered affected volumes from the Manifa oilfield, where output had previously been reduced by around 300,000 bpd.

Work was ongoing to restore full output at the Khurais facility, after strikes on it reduced Saudi capacity by a further 300,000 bpd, the ministry said.

It said the quick recovery would enhance the “reliability and continuity of supplies to local and global markets.”
