#Saudi Oil Production Cut in Half After Drone Attack from Yemen - Bloomberg

Saudi Oil Production Cut in Half After Drone Attack from Yemen - Bloomberg:

Saudi Arabia’s oil production was cut by half after a swarm of explosive drones struck at the heart of the kingdom’s oil industry and set the world’s biggest crude-processing plant ablaze.

Saudi Aramco has had to cut production by as much as 5 million barrels a day after the attack on the Abqaiq plant, according to a person familiar with the matter. The company expects to restart most of the oil operations “within days,” a person familiar said.

Iran-backed Houthi rebels in Yemen, who have launched several drone attacks on Saudi targets, claimed responsibility.
