SAUDI ARABIA HALTS SHIPMENTS OF CRUDE OIL TO EUROPEAN REFINERIES
September 18th, 2026Via: Bloomberg:
Saudi Aramco told at least two oil refining customers in Europe that they will be allocated no crude oil next month after the kingdom’s key pipeline to the Red Sea was attacked, people informed of the decision said.
European customers normally receive Saudi Arabian crude on so-called term contracts, ensuring a steady flow of supply every month. Those deliveries will not take place next month, the people said, asking not to be identified because the information isn’t public. The decision applies to all European buyers, they said.
