  "summary": "Saudi Arabia has restarted operations at its East-West Pipeline, according to sources. The pipeline was pumping at a low rate and the country could resume exports from the Red Sea port of Yanbu.\n\nDrone attacks had forced Saudi Arabia to shut its East-West Pipeline on September 13, halting crude loadings at Yanbu port. Despite this, Saudi Arabia has been ramping up oil exports through the Strait of Hormuz.\n\nAccording to a market strategist, Opec’s biggest producer loaded seven super tankers with a capacity to carry 14 million barrels of oil from its export terminals inside the Gulf over the weekend. Brent crude was trading at $97.81 a barrel and West Texas Intermediate at $89.5 per barrel on Tuesday.",
