BREAKING: Saudi Arabia has informed European refiners that they will be allocated no crude oil next month amid the East-West pipeline shutdown, per Bloomberg.

European customers normally receive Saudi Arabian crude oil shipments on "term contracts," which are meant to ensure a steady flow of crude oil supply every month.

Countries in Europe imported 577,000 barrels of crude oil per day from Saudi Arabia prior to the shutdown.

Europe is facing its worst energy crisis in history.

Europe will have to get it from its new province called Canada.

...what?

This is about crude Europe will refine in Europe, not refined petro from Russia.

You're conflating things

Over the last generation, European energy policy has been great.

Never count out the Germans, they will work, drink and kill with more energy and resolve than any other European nation, except maybe the Scotch Irish who are just too small.

Especially so now that Germany has shut off all 8 nuclear reactors.

“Energiewende" brilliance. Official policy: dump nuclear and coal, flood the country with wind and solar, get more efficient, and hit climate targets without atoms.

Does Canada have the export facilities to do this yet, or do they have to ship it to the US for the Gulf of America to export it for them.

They can also use Warren Buffet's train to ship it to the West Coast. But I was certainly being sarcastic about expecting Canada to step up. I do believe this move is not a coincidence.

We sell them our beautiful jets and they immediately harpoon Europe for affecting our diesel prices.

Aramco owns a parallel pipeline to the East-West Pipeline.

I wonder what kind of games are being played with Europe here.

I’m trying to figure out why the Saudis are doing this as well.

Diesel is going to jump some more.

Not good going into the midterms.

I thought Trump and King Salman were tight?

They are. Which is why I believe this was done. There is more coming to support what has been achieved. The washout is occurring now.
