Attacks Shut Down a Big Saudi Oil Pipeline

Drone attacks shut part of Saudi Arabia's 1,200-km East-West pipeline, an oil highway, in the week before Sept. 17, stopping flow from eastern fields to Yanbu on the Red Sea. That removes 4-5 million barrels daily from supply. With the Strait of Hormuz waterway largely closed since Feb. 28, the Associated Press estimates repairs in three to five weeks.
