Saudi Aramco Facility Fire Quickly Extinguished, No Injuries Reported
A fire broke out at a Saudi Aramco facility in Jazan on Sunday morning but was quickly extinguished by the company's industrial security teams. The Energy Ministry reported that no injuries were sustained during the incident.
The ministry stated that authorities are still investigating the cause of the fire and assessing any potential damage to the facility, which is affiliated with Aramco's Jazan refinery.
This development comes just days after Saudi Aramco President and CEO Amin H. Nasser said attacks on oil facilities had caused limited disruptions to production. He noted that Aramco could restore production to pre-war levels within days and increase output to 12 million barrels per day, its maximum sustainable capacity, within three weeks if required.
