Saudi Arabia's East-West Pipeline, rerouting roughly 4 million barrels per day around Hormuz disruptions, faced shutdown after September 11 drone strikes damaged three pumping stations. Partial operations resumed around September 22 at low rates, with Aramco building volumes toward the prior 4 million bpd target to supply Red Sea refineries and enable Yanbu loadings. Brent crude fell over $2 per barrel on restart signals. Full 7 million bpd nameplate capacity faces 6-8 week repairs, though bypass work and remaining stations support interim flows. Traders monitor Kpler tanker data and Aramco pumping updates for resolution thresholds, with sentiment reflecting gradual progress amid persistent regional supply risks.
