据油气新闻网站9月15日沙特报道 沙特阿美公司在其网站上称，由于遭受恐怖分子袭击，沙特阿美公司在布盖格和库莱斯的工厂发生火灾，导致570万桶/日的原油停产。

沙特阿美总裁兼首席执行官Amin H Nasser在视察了事发地点后表示：“我们很高兴没有人员受伤。我要感谢所有及时对事件作出反应并控制局势的小组。恢复生产的工作正在进行中，大约48小时后将提供进度更新。”

网站声明称，公司将在获得更多信息后发布更多最新进展。

沙特内政部周六称，火灾是由无人机袭击所引起。一次袭击了这家石油公司位于沙特阿拉伯东部省份达曼附近的布盖格油田，另一次则袭击了库莱斯油田。

阿美石油公司的工业安全小组已经控制了火势，火势在阿美两个工厂的蔓延是有限的，目前正在对这些事件进行进一步调查。

也门胡塞组织发言人的话报道称，该组织在袭击中部署了10架无人机。他们的军方发言人告诉总部设在贝鲁特胡塞运动旗下的马西拉电视台，未来可能还会有更多的袭击。

Saudi Aramco emergency crews contained fires at its plants in Abqaiq and Khurais, as a result of terrorist attacks with projectiles, which resulted in production suspension of 5.7 million barrels of crude oil per day (bpd), the company said on its website.

After visiting the incident locations, Amin H Nasser, Saudi Aramco president & CEO, said: “We are gratified that there were no injuries. I would like to thank all teams that responded timely to the incidents and brought the situation under control. Work is underway to restore production and a progress update will be provided in around 48 hours.”

The company will release additional information as it becomes available, the website statement said.
