Saudi Aramco Reroutes 60 Million Barrels of Crude via Oman Amid Red Sea Disruptions
Saudi Aramco is rerouting about 60 million barrels of crude oil from its Gulf port of Ras Tanura to Oman's Sohar port for ship-to-ship transfers in September and October. This adjustment follows disruptions at the Red Sea port of Yanbu caused by an attack on the East-West pipeline, leading to slowed exports there. The increased Gulf exports, mainly purchased by Chinese, South Korean, Indian, and Japanese refiners, have helped stabilize global oil prices amid concerns over supply disruptions.
