Saudi Arabia’s energy ministry issued its first official report detailing extensive infrastructure damage from the recent conflict. The statement confirms significant disruptions to the kingdom's production, transport, and refining capabilities.
Strikes on an East-West Pipeline pumping station reduced throughput by 700,000 barrels per day. Outages at the Manifa and Khurais oilfields cut output by a further 600,000 barrels per day. Damage also affected major refineries and liquefied petroleum gas export terminals.
The ministry confirmed the first Saudi casualty of the war, an industrial security guard. Financial markets were closed for the Good Friday holiday, delaying any immediate price reaction.
