Saudi Arabia has restored its key East-West oil pipeline and other facilities after attacks by Iran on targets across the Gulf.
The pipeline, which can transport up to 7 million barrels a day, has been restored to its full capacity.
"Energy facilities and the east-west pipeline damaged by attacks have recovered and regained their operational capacity, enhancing the reliability of supplies," the official Saudi Press Agency (SPA) reported, citing an energy ministry statement.
Hours after a ceasefire was declared in Iran, a strike last week damaged one of 11 pumping stations along the 746-mile (1,200-kilometer) conduit, reducing throughput by 700,000 barrels a day.
The energy ministry explained the prior attacks had led to the "loss of approximately 700,000 barrels per day of pumping capacity through the East-West pipeline."
The attacks also affected Saudi’s Manifa field, which has not been restored. The Khurais oil field has also been restored to run at full production capacity.
Riyadh had confirmed on Friday that the week-long attacks by Iran had impacted oil production capacity and killed one person.
The pipeline allows Saudi Arabia to export oil without passing through the Strait of Hormuz.
