The #Abqaiq oil processing facility has been targeted multiple times in the past, from Al Qaida in 2006 to foiled plot in May 2019 and now with #drones. Strikes against oil infrastructure can have massive economic and #environmental consequences.
#PT at the #Abqaiq processing facility, 6.8 million barrels of crude oil are processed on a daily basis. Saudis claim the fire is now under control. The base is at least 1000km away from Houthi controlled area, so their likely #drone of choice is the UAV-X

@NASAEarth #PT And here are the other smaller #oil facilities in Saudi Arabia that have been targeted, allegedly in a #drone swarm attack invovlving 10 drones launched by the Houthis from #Yemen

Thread on the impact of attacks on #Abqaiq #oil complex in the E. province in Saudi Arabia:
1- It is difficult at this stage to assess the impact of the attacks. While no details, we have to be mindful of the gagging orders & Saudi laws governing reporting, videos, and pictures.
2-Will the attacks lead to lower crude oil exports? We do not know at this stage. Will they lower production? We do not know either. What do we know? Majority of Saudi oil exports goes through Abqaiq facilities.
3-What do we know? Redundancy is common in Saudi oil facilities, especially #Abqaiq. While costly, redundancy helps in case of technical problems or attacks similar to what we have seen today. The existence of backup means the impact on production and exports is limited.

Saudi Arabia says it has contained a fires after two large #oil facilities were attacked with drones: the Abqaiq processing center and the Khurais oilfield (video is Abqaiq) | #OOTT #SaudiArabia 🇸🇦 ⛽️🛢 bloomberg.com/news/articles/…
Abqaiq is perhaps the *world’s most important* oil installation. According to the @EIAgov, the plant has a capacity of >7 million b/d. “Most of the oil produced in the country [Saudi Arabia] is processed at Abqaiq before export or delivery to refineries” eia.gov/beta/internati…
This what @Aramco says about the Abqaiq plant: “As the company's largest oil processing facility and the largest crude oil stabilization plant in the world, Abqaiq plays a pivotal role in our day-to-day operations.”
