Saudi Aramco Seeks Overseas Oil Storage Access Amid Rising Houthi Attacks
Saudi Aramco is seeking access to foreign governments' strategic oil storage to enhance supply resilience amid escalating attacks by Yemen's Houthis on Saudi infrastructure. The company aims to double its overseas storage capacity, particularly in Asia. Recent Houthi attacks have targeted Aramco's headquarters in Dhahran, leading to evacuation orders and remote work for staff. Attacks on the Shaybah oil field and Dammam airport have caused casualties but reportedly have not disrupted oil production.
