Saudi Energy Minister Prince Abdulaziz bin Salman said on Wednesday that the ethane gas output of the Kingdom is now at 900 million standard cubic feet as it recovers from the attacks on the Abqaiq and Khurais facilities on Sept. 14, the Saudi state news agency (SPA) reported.
The minister added that the total current domestic demand is 940 million standard cubic feet per day.

SPA also quoted him as saying that natural gas liquids output has reached about 880 thousand barrels per day compared to domestic demand volume of 792 thousand barrels per day.
The energy minister added that with the operation of the natural gas liquids plant at Shaybah oilfield, output will reach 960 thousand barrels per day by the end of the week, SPA reported.

Saudi Arabia has also restored its oil production capacity to 11.3 million barrels per day, as reported by Reuters, maintaining a faster than expected recovery after the Sept. 14 attacks on its oil facilities.  Crude output from the Khurais field is now at 1.3 million bpd and the Abqaiq plant is currently at about 4.9 million bpd, the sources said. On Monday, sources had said Abqaiq production was about 3 million bpd.
