Saudi Aramco to Skip European Refinery Supply in October
Interfax·SA · EU·about 18 hours ago
Saudi Aramco has notified at least two European customers of zero crude allocations for the upcoming month, signaling a deliberate reduction in exports to Europe. The move follows ongoing OPEC+ production cuts and suggests a tightening of global supply, though the specific reasons and scope remain unconfirmed. This could pressure European refiners and contribute to higher oil prices.

Saudi Aramco has cancelled all October crude allocations to European refiners following a drone attack on the East-West pipeline. This action redirects approximately 60 million barrels of crude through the Persian Gulf, impacting European supply balances. The duration of the pipeline outage and the full extent of damage remain uncertain.
