Saudi Resumes East-West Pipeline Oil Exports, Orlen Among Recipients

Saudi Arabia has restarted crude flows through its East-West pipeline, which bypasses the Strait of Hormuz, according to Bloomberg. The resumption restores an alternate export route for Saudi oil, with Polish refiner Orlen listed as a recipient. This reduces reliance on the Hormuz chokepoint and may ease supply concerns, though the duration and volume of flows remain unconfirmed.
