Some of those pipelines travel through miles and miles of nothing. Not inconceivable that the Houthis could take a drive through those miles of nothing, and blow up a couple pumping stations in that Saudi pipe.

Iran attacks on crucial Saudi pipeline and production facilities slash kingdom’s oil output

Saudi Arabia’s critical pipeline to the Red Sea suffered a recent attack from Iran, cutting throughput by 700,000 barrels per day.

The attack hit a pumping station on the East-West pipeline, according to a state-news agency report. This pipeline brings crude oil from processing facilities near the Persian Gulf to an export terminal on the Red Sea called Yanbu.

Attacks on Saudi’s Manifa and Khurais production facilities have slashed the kingdom’s output by 600,000 bpd, according to the Saudi Press Agency report. Several refineries have also been attacked.
