Saudi Arabia has restarted operations at its East-West Pipeline and could resume exports from the Red Sea port of Yanbu later today, three sources briefed on the matter said, according to Reuters.

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.
