Saudi Oil Exports Rerouted Through Oman as Europe Faces Shortfall
Saudi Arabia is moving a large amount of oil through Oman.
The amount described is about 60 million barrels.
This change is linked to slower oil supplies at Yanbu.
Refineries in China and South Korea are buying many of the oil shipments.
Some shipments may also go to India and Japan.
The extra oil has helped lower world oil prices.
Traders are studying whether it can replace some of the oil affected by the Yanbu slowdown.
