Satellite imagery shows that part of Saudi Arabia's East-West oil pipeline has resumed operation.

According to U.S. sources on the 29th, satellite imagery analyzed by ship-tracking firm Kpler shows that since the 27th, a total of 9 tankers have loaded approximately 12.5 million barrels of crude oil along the Red Sea coast, with 3 of those tankers completing loading in the past 24 hours. This is said to be the "strongest" indication so far that Saudi Arabia's East-West Pipeline has "at least partially" resumed operations. In addition, two people familiar with the pipeline repairs, who were not authorized to speak publicly about the matter, said Saudi Arabia has restored throughput to about 3.5 million barrels per day.
