  • Oil exports through the Red Sea port of Yanbu have reached 5 million barrels per day, with an additional 700,000 to 900,000 barrels of oil products also exported daily.
  • About 2 million barrels of the oil pumped through the East-West pipeline are allocated for Saudi refineries.
  • The bypass of the Strait of Hormuz via the pipeline and the use of the Yanbu route have helped prevent oil prices from reaching the high levels seen in previous supply crises.
