How quickly can Saudi’s East-West pipeline restart? In one AI prompt.
On 10 September, drones launched from Iraq hit pump stations on Saudi Arabia's East-West Pipeline and the pipeline was shut. The market remains unsure on when this pipeline can restart. Flat price is not panicking yet, but the curve is telling a different story. Tracking the pipeline resumption remains of huge importance. Here is what came back from a single question put to HiLo’s AI platform "How quickly can the East West pipeline resume normal oil flows?"
The HiLo AI Agent is able to do deep analytical work by combining fundamentals, news via X / Grok, prices, satellite imagery from EU’s Sentinel and US’s NASA, insights from our own daily reports, and Petro-Logistics ship tracking to provide a complete picture of the incident and impact.
HiLo customers with their own AI infrastructure can use the HiLo MCP to connect our data alongside your internal refinery models and other vendor MCPs. Or, if you want to get up and running today, our web platform needs no infrastructure at all.
MCP or Web Platform
If your organisation already has its own AI infrastructure, the HiLo MCP connects our data into it and sits alongside your internal refinery models and your other vendors' MCPs. An MCP (Model Context Protocol) is a glorified API — an open standard, a USB-C port for AI applications. Setup is quick, and the same connection serves the whole organisation.
If you are a pod or a small team and want to be running today, the web platform needs no internal infrastructure at all. Browser only, and you choose the AI model output.
HiLo Analytics is helping our clients access our data and market intelligence in whatever AI infrastructure best fits their needs. That could be via their own internal AI front end, or via Claude, OpenAI, Copilot, etc., or the HiLo Web Platform. We remain open to market feedback as the AI usage and adoption increases in the future.
