The pipeline was pumping at a low rate, two of them said. Meanwhile, Bloomberg quoted sources as saying that several Asian refiners were told informally by <a href="https://www.argaam.com/en/tadawul/tasi/saudi-aramco" target="_blank">Saudi Aramco</a> that they would soon be able to pick up oil from Yanbu. Saudi Ministry of Energy announced on Sept. 11 that the East-West Pipeline in the Riyadh and Madinah regions came under multiple attacks and was closed as a precaution, Argaam earlier reported.
