Saudi Oil Exports Unchanged After 0.7m Cut

Drone attack damaged one of 11 pumping stations on 746‑mile pipeline, reducing throughput by 700,000 barrels per day.
Despite the hit, Saudi Arabia expects Red Sea export volumes to stay steady by cutting crude deliveries to refineries, power and desalination.
The pipeline’s 7 million‑bpd capacity leaves about 5 million barrels per day available for export after accounting for 2 million bpd domestic use.
Impact on Yanbu terminal exports not yet materialized as oil takes several days to traverse the pipeline.
