Saudi Aramco Cuts October Crude Allocations to Europe to Zero

Saudi Aramco has informed European term customers that they will receive no crude in October, while redirecting roughly 60 million barrels through the Persian Gulf after damage to its East-West pipeline. The move signals a deliberate reallocation of supply away from Europe, potentially tightening European crude availability and supporting regional differentials. The extent of the pipeline damage and the duration of the disruption remain uncertain.

Saudi East-West Pipeline Disruption & European Crude Supply Halt

Saudi Arabia's East-West pipeline remains offline following a drone attack, leading Saudi Aramco to cancel all October crude allocations to European refiners. This disruption has reduced tanker traffic through the Strait of Hormuz and intensified supply pressure on Asian markets, though Saudi Arabia is attempting to reroute some crude via STS transfers. The duration of the pipeline outage and the full extent of global supply impacts remain uncertain.
