Saudi Arabia's East-West pipeline shutdown poses risks to crude supply for Asia's largest importers, particularly South Korea, which imported 34.1% of its crude from the kingdom in July. The disruption could affect 3.5 to 4.5 million barrels per day of crude exports, potentially raising oil prices and freight costs in the short term. Repairs may take three to six weeks, but Saudi officials anticipate a quick restart.
