Saudi Arabia restarts East-West oil pipeline, to resume exports from Yanbu, sources say

SINGAPORE/NEW DELHI, Sept 22 (Reuters) - Saudi Arabia has restarted operations at its East-West Pipeline and could resume exports from the Red Sea port of Yanbu later on Tuesday, ⁠three sources briefed on the matter said.

The pipeline was pumping at a low rate, two of them said.

State energy firm Saudi Aramco did not immediately ⁠respond to a request for comment.

Drone attacks forced Saudi Arabia to shut its East-West ⁠Pipeline on September 13, halting crude loadings at the ⁠kingdom's Yanbu port.
