Bahrain’s oil refinery has not been affected by attacks that disrupted Saudi crude exports earlier this month, Bahrain’s Oil Minister Sheikh Mohammed bin Khalifa al-Khalifa said in a statement on Wednesday, as reported by Reuters
Bahrain’s oil imports from Saudi Arabia have now returned to normal, the statement said.
Some units in the oil refinery are under maintenance, reducing its capacity, but reserves of oil products are sufficient to meet clients’ needs in the long run, it added.
The attacks on Saudi Arabia’s oil facilities in the Eastern Province had resulted in the halt of an estimated 5.7 million barrels of crude oil supplies, or about 50 percent of Aramco’s production. Saudi Arabia pledged to use its oil reserves to compensate for the disruption of supply for its customers.
