More details on Abqaiq (as reported by @energyaspects): Attacks caused shut-in of 5.7 mb/d of crude production (58% of current output), 2 bcf/d of gas output (18% of annual average domestic gas sales) and over 0.5 mb/d of ethane and NGLs output (50% of current production). #oott
Attacks damaged parts of 7 mb/d Abqaiq processing facility and another plant that handles output from the 1.2 mb/d Khurais field. Although redundant processing capacity should enable some of the affected output to return quickly, a full restoration will likely take weeks.
Saudi crude contains H2S & must be processed to make it fit for transport through pipelines or processing in refineries. EA understands that at least 1 of 7 stabilisation trains at Abqaiq has been severely damaged while 8-10 of the 18 desulphurisation towers are out of action
