This comes after the Saudi energy giant reported that its critical infrastructure was targeted in the July attacks. This is the companys first acknowledgment of the attacks since the incidents began. Oil traders had been closely examining footage from last month showing suspected oil tank fires and flare burning across Saudi Arabia. "Some of the companys facilities were attacked, but the impact on operations or finances was not significant," Nasser said. "The same was true in July. Even with the July attacks, there was no material impact on our capabilities."Abu Dhabi National Oil Company (ADNOC) said the new deployment allows engineers to oversee up to three times the number of drilling rigs and helps avoid up to two days of downtime.
