Oil prices are trading at their highest levels since May after attacks on key oil facilities in Saudi Arabia

The attacks on key oil facilities in Saudi Arabia have disrupted about half of the kingdom's oil capacity, or 5% of the daily global oil supply.

That means 5.7 million barrels a day of crude oil and gas production have been affected, according to Saudi Energy Minister Prince Abdulaziz bin Salman.A haze of smoke is seen from the attacked oil plant in Saudi Arabia. US oil futures were trading at more than $61 a barrel during Asia hours -- a spike of nearly 10%. Earlier, the price jumped as much as 15%. Futures of Brent crude, the global benchmark, traded at nearly $68 per barrel, an 11% increase."This is a big deal," said Tom Kloza, chief oil analyst for the Oil Price Information Service."It is the biggest shock to the oil markets since [Hurricane] Katrina. And like Katrina it will likely haunt us for months, at least weeks.

Plenty of oil

I wouldn’t be surprised to find out it’s an inside job to increase oil revenue and start a war with Iran. Trump answers to the Saudis. Should be interesting. We’ve been here before with Iraq, W, Cheney and fake WMD’s.

Recently one minister was boasted that they can finish it off Iran within a hour. Wonder is they couldn't prevent a rebel group attack, how come they will finish Iran in a hour?

The world will pay the prices ,although saudi always trys to keep the price low for thier allies , if the world dont do thier duties and stop iran terror act in the region!! Then wait till it reaches 100$ and above

This must not be happening.

Saudi Officials Say Oil Production to Return to Normal Levels by MondaySaudi Arabia said it would return to normal levels of oil production by Monday, as officials sought to reassure world markets after a drone attack Saturday prompted the kingdom to cut its crude production in half. Iran‘s Mullahs supported by Russia & China declaring war to the entire world while the failed EU still wants negotiations! Is Iran a country we really want to have nuclear weapons? I say take them out. Since most US oil imports come from Canada and because the US is now much less reliant on imports, it is highly doubtful that this would create an emergency situation in the US.
