Saudi Arabia's East-West Pipeline Operating at Near Full Capacity
Saudi Arabia is currently pumping over 80% of its capacity through its key East-West oil pipeline, transporting approximately 5.8 million barrels per day (bbl/day), according to Energy Minister Prince Abdulaziz bin Salman. This marks a significant recovery in the country's export capabilities following earlier disruptions. The 750-mile pipeline is crucial for moving crude from production sites on the Persian Gulf coast to refineries and ports along the Red Sea, facilitating oil exports. The increased throughput reflects improved infrastructure operations and aligns with broader regional efforts to stabilize energy markets post-pandemic.
