Saudi Aramco resumes full oil supply to European customers, reducing alternative procurement pressure for European refineries
Saudi Aramco has announced that it will resume supplying full crude oil volumes to European refiners in November.

The pipeline’s capacity has now been restored to over 80%, and Saudi Arabia’s daily crude oil exports to Europe, about 700,000 to 800,000 barrels, are expected to return to normal.
