Some industry insiders broke the news to the media that Saudi Arabia, OPEC's largest oil producer, has restarted the operation of its east-west oil pipeline, which is currently transporting crude oil at a lower flow rate. Earlier, on September 11, a drone attack forced Saudi Arabia to close this 1,200-kilometer critical oil pipeline, causing the country's crude oil loading operations at Yanbu Port in the Red Sea to be interrupted. According to industry sources, Saudi Aramco is currently working to restore oil transportation to 4 million b/d. They pointed out that it would take a few days to reach 40% of the original delivery capacity, while it would take 6 to 8 weeks to fully resume operation. Another oil industry insider shared the same opinion, saying it may take up to 6 weeks for the east-west pipeline to return to full capacity.
