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.
