The "East-West" oil pipeline damaged on September 10 is being tested in Saudi Arabia. Bloomberg agency reported this on September 22, referring to its sources familiar with the situation. According to the interlocutor of the agency, the works are being carried out as part of the preparation for launching the pipeline this week. The source added that Riyadh also hopes to restore oil loading from Yanbu port on the Red Sea by the end of the week. The East-West pipeline in Saudi Arabia was shut down on September 11 as a security precaution after a series of attacks. The world's largest oil exporter used this route to send about 4 million barrels of oil per day to the Red Sea port of Yanbu, which is about 4% of global supplies.
