Saudi Arabia restores full capacity on East-West oil pipeline to 7 million bpd after attacks
Ministry says the pipeline’s full pumping capacity returned to about 7 million barrels per day as work continues at the Khurais field.
- On Sunday, Saudi Arabia's Ministry of Energy announced the successful restoration of the East-West Pipeline to its full capacity of seven million barrels per day following recent attacks.
- Attacks had previously reduced throughput on the East-West Pipeline by about 700,000 barrels per day, creating critical disruption since the pipeline serves as the Kingdom's sole crude export route amid Strait of Hormuz closure.
- Operational teams also recovered affected volumes from the Manifa field, restoring production of around 300,000 barrels per day and demonstrating Saudi Aramco's crisis management efficiency.
- While restoration succeeded at the East-West Pipeline and Manifa field, work continues at the Khurais facility to restore full capacity after strikes reduced output by 300,000 barrels per day.
- Saudi Arabia has intercepted numerous Iranian missiles and drones in recent weeks, though the Kingdom did not specify who launched the attacks targeting energy facilities in Riyadh, the Eastern Province, and Yanbu Industrial City.
