[The U.S. says the Saudi oil pipeline attacked will resume operations soon] September 18, according to U.S. news, on the 17th local time, U.S. Energy Secretary Wright said that the Saudi Arabian East-West oil pipeline, which was recently damaged by a drone attack, is expected to resume operations "relatively soon." Saudi Arabia's east-west oil pipeline was forced to shut down after being attacked by drones on the 10th. The pipeline can help Saudi Arabia export oil bypassing the Strait of Hormuz. It was previously reported that the pipeline may require up to five weeks of repairs before it can resume operation. Wright said that three pumping stations on the pipeline were attacked, two of which were lightly damaged, and that the pipeline was expected to resume operation "relatively quickly." (CCTV News)
