知情人士称，在有关该管道因新袭击而关闭的报道后，沙特阿拉伯关键的跨国输油管道目前运行正常。
Saudi Arabia’s key cross-country oil pipeline is operating normally, people familiar with the matter said, after a report that it had shut following a new attack.
因讨论非公开信息而不愿具名的知情人士表示，石油继续通过东西向管道输送。法新社10月5日援引沙特能源部门一位未具名人士的话报道称，在周末该管道沿线一处泵站遭到新的袭击后，输送一度停止。沙特阿美和能源部未立即回应置评请求。
Oil continues to flow through the East-West link, the people said, asking not to be identified discussing private information. The conduit was halted after a fresh strike on a pumping station along the route over the weekend, the AFP reported on Oct 5, citing a person in the kingdom’s energy sector that it did not identify. Saudi Aramco and the Energy Ministry did not immediately respond to requests for comment.
油价在法新社报道后一度跳涨1.2%，在正常运行的消息传出后回落。沙特阿美上周晚些时候已将这条日输油能力700万桶的管道输送量提升至产能的80%以上，在9月遭到从伊拉克发射的无人机袭击后恢复了该管道的大部分输送。
Oil prices, which jumped as much as 1.2% after the AFP report, eased following the report of normal operations. Aramco had ramped up supplies through the seven-million-barrel-a-day pipeline to more than 80% of capacity by late last week, bringing back much of the link after it was attacked by drones launched from Iraq in September.
在与伊朗的战争期间，这条管道一直是维持石油流通的重要通道，通过红海运输，而无需依赖经由霍尔木兹海峡的危险航程。
The link has served as a vital conduit for keeping oil flowing during the Iran war with shipments through the Red Sea without relying on risky journeys via the Strait of Hormuz.
据一位知情人士称，扣除供应给沙特西海岸炼油厂的量后，截至上周，沙特阿美约有每日450万桶的输送量可用于出口。
After accounting for supplies to refineries on Saudi Arabia’s west coast, Aramco had about 4.5 million barrels a day of flows available for exports as at last week, according to a person familiar with the matter.
然而，近几个月来红海航线面临压力，也门胡塞武装袭击油轮以及沙特西海岸的基础设施。
However, the Red Sea route has come under pressure in recent months, with Yemen’s Houthi militants attacking tankers and Saudi infrastructure along the kingdom’s west coast.
随着也门冲突升级，也门国际公认的政府发动了全面军事行动，试图夺回胡塞武装控制的地盘。此前数周，该武装组织与沙特之间的冲突不断升级。彭博社
The conflict in Yemen has escalated as Yemen’s internationally recognised government launched a full-scale military campaign to recapture Houthi-held territory after weeks of escalating conflict between the militant group and Saudi Arabia. BLOOMBERG
