Oil extended its biggest decline in more than six weeks as Saudi Arabia improved flows through alternative routes and sought to restore its damaged East-West Pipeline, easing immediate concerns over Middle Eastern supply disruptions. Brent futures fell to $105.83 a barrel and West Texas Intermediate declined 0.2% to $102.21 by 21:36 ET (01:36 GMT). Saudi Arabia aimed to restore about half of the pipeline's capacity within days and full operations in about six weeks, according to a person familiar with the matter. Additional crude was offered to Asian refiners through ship-to-ship transfers off Oman's Sohar port, while U.S.-Houthi dialogue also reduced some disruption concerns. Losses remained limited because shipping through the Strait of Hormuz stayed at a fraction of prewar levels, U.S.-Iran tensions persisted and U.S. crude inventories posted a third consecutive weekly decline. Brent remained up 1.2% for the week after reaching nearly $110 earlier following a Houthi offensive against Saudi energy infrastructure.
