Deep News04-10 03:50

An attack on Saudi Arabia's East-West pipeline has reduced its daily transport capacity by approximately 700,000 barrels, according to an official from the Energy Ministry cited by the Saudi Press Agency (SPA). This follows a prior assault on the Khurais facility, which had already lowered daily production capacity by 300,000 barrels, bringing the total reduction in the country's daily output to around 600,000 barrels.

The attacks also affected major refining facilities, including the Satorp refinery in Jubail, the Ras Tanura refinery, the Samref refinery in Yanbu, and the Riyadh refinery, directly impacting the export of refined petroleum products to global markets.

Processing facilities in Juaymah were also impacted by a fire, disrupting exports of liquefied petroleum gas (LPG) and natural gas liquids.
