Saudi Arabia Boosts Gulf Oil Exports After Pipeline Attack Disruptions
Saudi Arabia has increased crude oil loadings from its Gulf terminals following drone attacks by Iran-backed Houthis that disrupted its East-West pipeline to the Red Sea. Data shows about 14 million barrels were loaded onto seven supertankers near Ras Tanura, indicating a partial recovery in exports despite ongoing regional disruptions. This shift in export routes has contributed to Brent crude prices falling below $100 per barrel for the first time since early September, reflecting expectations of higher supply.
