Thread: Saudi Oil Attack

I actually found it quite shocking when they said it was only 5% of the world's supply. IIRC, in the 70s Saudi Arabia was pretty single handedly supplying the whole world's oil demands for the most part. That's back when people in Oklahoma were getting rich pumping out a few thousand barrels of crude per week.
Go that way really REALLY fast. If something gets in your way, TURN!

I'm sorry but all this air strike and oil prices talk and not one mention of hurt workers or even a death?
Not even Aljazeera is reporting an injury.
WTF?

Then how could you make such a simple justification for a zero injury situation? Oh right, you are just trying to be funny. Sarcasm isn't funny online, sorry brah.
Media blackout and difficult reporting makes more sense. Just seems strange how the information is being presented but these corrupt governments don't mess around.

The larger concern is that if this leads to a shooting war between the Saudis and Iranians, it will shut down all oil shipping in the Persian Gulf. About a fifth of the world supply of oil has to transit the Straight of Hormuz. Losing 20% of the world's daily output will drain the world's oil stock pile in a hurry.

It's 110 degrees in that fucking desert. There are not a lot of people running around. They sit in a central control room looking bored for a shift. It's designed to withstand a certain level of explosion/fire outside.
In each unit there are perhaps two guys in the field riding around in a truck with walkie talkies taking care of the odd problem. If you want to disrupt oil supply a petroleum processing plant is a great target, but if you want to kill people it's not."timberridge is terminally vapid" -- a fortune cookie in Yueyang

Can't disagree with that but I'm sorry I can't imagine zero injuries. Call me a skeptic but I don't trust it.

There may be a few people dead if they hit the units directly but it's not gonna be very many. A hit on maintenance shed or similar would have heavier casualties.
The Saudi nationals don't do those jobs, its all expat workers there and they're not a high priority to Saudis."timberridge is terminally vapid" -- a fortune cookie in Yueyang

Is that really who you want on the front lines of your oil operation?
