Saudi Arabia will use its vast oil reserves to offset disruption to production after an attack on two major oil facilities, its energy minister said Sunday

The drone strikes Saturday on national energy giant Aramco's processing plants in Abqaiq and Khurais knocked 5.7 million barrels per day off production, close to six per cent of global crude supplies.

Prince Abdulaziz said Saturday's explosions also halted supplies of some two billion cubic feet of associated gas -- which is extracted along with the crude. As markets closely watch the OPEC kingpin's ability to get its industry back on track, Aramco CEO Amin Nasser said that"work is underway" to restore full production.
