Saudi Arabia’s Minister of Energy Prince Abdulaziz bin Salman will hold a press conference today at 8:30pm at The Ritz-Carlton, Jeddah, the Ministry of Media said in a statement.

 

The press conference follows Saturday’s terrorist attacks on Saudi Aramco’s facilities in Abqaiq and Khurais.

 

Prince Abdulaziz said a temporary production halt resulted from the drone attack against two Saudi Aramco facilities, Argaam reported.

The attacks have cut the company’s crude oil supply by about 50 percent, or 5.7 million barrels of crude oil.

 

The major oil producer vowed to use its oil reserves to compensate for the disruption of supply for its customers.
