A crucial Saudi oil pipeline could remain largely out of service for three to five weeks after a drone attack last week, according to the Associated Press, citing two regional officials briefed on the damage.⁣
⁣
Satellite images provided by Vantor show the aftermath of the attack on the East-West Pipeline, which carries Saudi crude from oil fields and Gulf ports to the kingdom’s Red Sea coast.⁣
⁣
The 1,200-kilometer pipeline was shut down on Thursday after Saudi Arabia blamed the attack on drones launched by Iranian-backed militias in Iraq.⁣
⁣
One official said parts of the pipeline could resume operating while repairs continue. The system has a total capacity of up to 7 million barrels of oil per day.⁣
⁣
The disruption comes as Saudi Arabia seeks to maintain oil exports while avoiding the Strait of Hormuz, where shipping has been severely disrupted by Iranian attacks.⁣
