Bloomberg reported on Friday 18 September that Saudi Aramco had told at least two European refiners their October crude allocations were zero, citing people familiar with the matter who said the decision covered all European term buyers. European refiners normally receive Saudi crude via Yanbu and Egypt's SUMED pipeline to Sidi Kerir, a route interrupted by the East-West pipeline shutdown. Aramco did not publicly confirm the cut, and Poland's Orlen issued more than 10 tenders for replacement cargoes.
