Two sites were hit on Saturday — the Abqaiq and Khurais oil facilities — which took out 5.7 million barrels per day of crude oil production.
Repair work is underway at two Saudi Aramco oil facilities after predawn attacks on Saturday forced the kingdom to shut down half its total oil production.
Abqaiq, located in the kingdom's oil-rich eastern province, is the world's largest oil processing facility and crude oil stabilization plant with a processing capacity of more than 7 million barrels per day . Khurais, which lies about 110 miles southwest of Abqaiq, has capacity to pump around 1.5 million bpd.
The officials added that by the time the staff at the Khurais facility had attempted to put the fires out from the first wave of attacks, more strikes had targeted the plant. They added that the full country capacity of around 12 million barrels per day will be available by November, although in recent months the kingdom has been capping daily production at 10 million barrels.
