What are the implications of the attacks on Saudi oil facilities?
In this episode, Ian Thom is joined by Stewart Williams, Tor Soltvedt and Norman Valentine to discuss the missile and drone attack on Saudi Arabia's oil facilities. The attacks at Abqaiq and Khurais in September damaged critical oil infrastructure and resulted in the temporary loss of 5.7 million b/d of oil production – and a significant spike in the oil price.
