Saudi Arabia's East-West pipeline closure risks 4M barrels/day, pushing oil prices above $100 amid Middle East tensions.

Saudi Arabia has temporarily closed its East-West oil pipeline, which transports about 4 million barrels per day, due to drone attacks. This closure forces more crude exports through the vulnerable Strait of Hormuz, tightening global oil supply amid ongoing Middle East conflicts. With global oil inventories already down by around 1 billion barrels, analysts warn that if the pipeline remains offline beyond a five-to-seven-day inventory cushion, oil prices could surge sharply above $100 per barrel. Repair timelines remain uncertain, and regional tensions continue to threaten oil export routes, raising concerns over prolonged supply disruptions and higher energy costs worldwide.

Saudi Arabia's oil pipeline closure is the story's subject.
