Saudi Arabia to burn more oil for power this summer as gas output falls

Energy Markets & PricesCommodities & Raw MaterialsGeopolitics & War

Saudi Arabia is expected to burn more imported fuel oil this summer as a loss of natural gas supply from shut oilfields tightens power-generation fuel availability. The disruption is linked to the Iran war, which curtailed Saudi oil exports and reduced associated gas supply. The impact is negative for Saudi fuel balances and supportive for imported fuel oil demand.
