Saudi Aramco has resumed oil pumping through the East-West pipeline after it was temporarily closed because of drone attacks, according to a source familiar with the matter, Reuters reported.
Two pump stations on the Saudi East-West pipeline, which transports oil from the Eastern Province to Yanbu port, were attacked on May 14 by drones. The fire has since been contained, and Saudi Aramco temporarily shut down the pipeline and revealed that it took all the necessary measures to evaluate the pipeline condition.
The attack left minor damages, according to Saudi Energy Minister, Khalid Al-Falih.
