After multiple southern energy facilities in Saudi Arabia were attacked and ceased operations, Brent crude oil approached the $100 per barrel mark, coming within less than $1 of reaching triple digits.
According to the official Saudi Press Agency, the attacks occurred on Tuesday, resulting in multiple injuries. The Houthi armed group claimed responsibility for targeting the Jizan refinery, which has a daily processing capacity of 400,000 barrels, as well as several other energy facilities serving the domestic market.
Ongoing attacks against the largest OPEC oil producer have heightened market concerns. Affected by the situation, crude oil supply may continue to face disruptions.
Global crude oil inventories are falling rapidly, and prices of refined products such as diesel are surging worldwide. Since the beginning of this year, Brent crude oil has risen by over 60%, with European diesel benchmark prices nearing $200 per barrel.
