Saudi Arabia has officially restarted operations on its East-West Pipeline and is preparing to resume crude exports from the Red Sea port of Yanbu on September 22, Reuters reported, citing industry sources.

The critical pipeline was shut down on September 13 following targeted drone attacks, which completely halted crude loadings at the Yanbu port.
