[Satellite images show that part of the Saudi East-West oil pipeline has resumed operation] September 30th, according to US news on the 29th, satellite images analyzed by the ship tracking agency Kepler showed that since the 27th, a total of 9 oil tankers have loaded about 12.5 million barrels of crude oil on the Red Sea coast, and 3 of them have completed loading in the past 24 hours. It is reported that this is the "strongest" indication at present that the Saudi East-West oil pipeline has "at least partially" resumed operation. In addition, two people familiar with the pipeline repairs but not authorized to speak publicly about the matter said that Saudi Arabia has restored oil output to about 3.5 million barrels per day. The Saudi Ministry of Energy and Saudi Aramco, which operates the East-West oil pipeline, have not yet made a statement on the pipeline's resumption of operation. The Saudi Ministry of Energy said on the 11th that the country's east-west oil pipeline was attacked multiple times on the morning of the 10th and the pipeline was preventively closed. The total length of this pipeline is more than 1,200 kilometers, with a peak daily average transportation capacity of 7 million barrels, of which 5 million barrels can be exported. (CCTV News)
