According to Euronews, a Saudi pipeline shutdown is threatening oil exports to Europe and Asia, with the kingdom currently relying on stored supplies to manage the disruption.
The pipeline issue arises at a time when Gulf oil exports have already experienced a sharp decline, and shipping routes are facing additional threats.
At present, no restart date has been announced for the pipeline, meaning the ultimate impact on deliveries to European and Asian markets will depend on the duration of the shutdown.
