Saudi Restores Full Capacity on East-West Oil Pipeline After Iran Conflict Attacks

Saudi Arabia has restored full capacity on its East-West oil pipeline to about seven million barrels per day, following attacks during the Iran conflict. The ministry said energy facilities and the pipeline affected by attacks have recovered and restored operational capacity.

The damage from the attacks cut Saudi's oil production capacity by around 600,000 barrels per day and throughput on its East-West Pipeline by about 700,000 bpd. The ministry worked to recover affected volumes from the Manifa oilfield, where output had previously been reduced by around 300,000 bpd.

The quick recovery of Saudi's energy sector will enhance 'the reliability and continuity of supplies to local and global markets,' according to the ministry. Work is ongoing to restore full output at the Khurais facility after strikes reduced Saudi capacity by a further 300,000 bpd.
