Saudi Oil Facility “Time to recover damage concentrated on critical parts” September 16, 18:30
Over an attack on Saudi oil-related facilities, the US government released local satellite photographs taken after the attack. From this image, oil industry officials pointed out that damage is concentrated in important parts of the facility, and the view that recovery of crude oil production capacity takes time is growing.
In Saudi Arabia, oil-related facilities such as Abu Kaiku in the east were attacked on the 14th, and production of about half of the daily crude oil production was temporarily suspended.
The US government released a local satellite photograph taken after the attack on the 16th, of which 17 structures were damaged, such as black smoke rising at the Abukaiku facility.
The oil industry officials who saw this photo pointed out that damage was concentrated in important parts of the facility, such as the crude oil processing process and associated gas tanks produced with the crude oil.
The Abkaiq facility has been the lifeline of Saudi Arabia's crude oil exports, including the removal of impurities for the export of crude oil produced and shipment to refineries.
The government of Saudi Arabia has not indicated the situation of damage or the prospect of restoration of facilities, but the view that damage to important parts of the facility has become clear, it takes time to restore production capacity The
