A fire broke out early Sunday, August 9, at a facility belonging to Saudi Aramco’s Jazan refinery in southwestern Saudi Arabia, with no injuries reported, the Energy Ministry said.In a post on X, the ministry said Aramco’s industrial security firefighting teams had extinguished the blaze, while the relevant authorities were completing the necessary procedures to deal with the incident.Aramco CEO Amin Nasser said last week that the company’s production, exports and domestic fuel supplies remained intact despite reported attacks on its facilities. He declined to comment on individual military or security incidents.
Nasser said Aramco could restore damaged facilities six times faster than the industry average and return to pre-conflict production within days once conditions allowed.
