  • Saudi Arabia is seeking to restore about half the capacity of its cross-country oil pipeline within days after the link was shut last week following drone attacks.
  • State-run Saudi Aramco is working to bypass a damaged section of the route, allowing it to resume part of the pipeline’s capacity. The company is aiming to restore the pipeline to full capacity in about six weeks.
  • Saudi Aramco and the Saudi energy ministry did not immediately respond to requests for comment.
