Business Extra: Saudi oil attack ramifications locally and globally

The damage done has disrupted about half of the kingdom’s crude production

Early on Saturday morning, attacks on Saudi Aramco’s giant oil plant caused major fires, disrupting about half of the kingdom’s crude production.

Host Mustafa Alrawi, assistant editor in chief, and Kelsey Warner, assistant business editor, welcome The National's energy correspondent Jennifer Gnana and foreign editor James Haines-Young for an in-depth discussion on the local and global ramifications of the attacks.
