From Yanbu to Sohar: Tracking Saudi Arabia’s alternative oil routes
The world’s second-largest crude exporter is rerouting crude via dark shipments and ship-to-ship transfers off Oman.
AI Summary
Saudi Arabia is shifting crude exports to “dark” shipments and ship‑to‑ship transfers off the coast of Oman after drone attacks damaged its East‑West pipeline. The attacks stopped oil flow through the line, cutting 4–5 million barrels per day from global supply. The rerouting reflects an effort to maintain export volumes despite the pipeline disruption.
