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.
