A fire at Saudi Aramco’s Jazan refinery was extinguished early Sunday with no injuries reported, according to Saudi Arabia’s Energy Ministry. The cause and extent of the blaze were not disclosed, and it remains unclear whether equipment was damaged or production disrupted at the facility, which can process up to 400,000 barrels of crude per day. This marks at least the second fire at the refinery within a month, following a late July storage tank blaze that Yemen’s Houthi movement claimed responsibility for, marking their first strikes on Saudi oil sites since 2022. The Jazan refinery’s Red Sea location is strategically important as regional producers seek alternatives to the Strait of Hormuz.
