Saudi Aramco notified customers on September 28, 2026, of its October oil-loading schedule from Yanbu, an Asian refining source told Reuters. The report said tanker loadings from the Red Sea port had resumed after operations restarted on the East-West Pipeline.
Pipeline operations remain below capacity
Reuters reported that two trade sources estimated crude loadings from Yanbu at about 2 million barrels per day since the previous week. The pipeline has a stated capacity of 7 million barrels per day, while Kpler estimated throughput could rise to between 3 million and 4 million barrels per day in the coming days.
September disruption
According to Reuters, drone strikes forced the pipeline to shut on September 11, halting crude exports from Yanbu. Pipeline operations resumed the following Tuesday, while Kpler said a full return to the pre-attack rate of roughly 5.5 million barrels per day could take another month.
