Recent attacks on Saudi Arabia's energy infrastructure have significantly disrupted the country's oil production and export systems. According to BlockBeats, sources from the Saudi National News Agency and the Ministry of Energy revealed that the Khurais and Manifa oil fields were targeted, resulting in a daily production decrease of approximately 300,000 barrels each. Additionally, a critical pumping station on the East-West pipeline was damaged, reducing daily oil transport by about 700,000 barrels.
The refining sector has also been affected, with major facilities such as the Jubail Satorp Refinery, Ras Tanura Refinery, Yanbu Samref Refinery, and Riyadh Refinery experiencing disruptions. This has directly impacted the export capacity of refined products to the global market.
Furthermore, a fire at the Juaymah processing facility has disrupted the export of liquefied petroleum gas (LPG) and liquefied natural gas (LNG). The Saudi Ministry of Energy confirmed that the attacks resulted in the death of an industrial security officer and forced the suspension of operations at some energy facilities.
