OREANDA-NEWS. Saudi Aramco was able to independently cope with the consequences of drone attacks on its facilities in Saudi Arabia, but the risks in the region continue to persist and therefore they must be taken into account. About this Russian media said the press secretary of Rosneft, Mikhail Leontyev. "In connection with false interpretations that appeared in the press after a report by Igor Sechin, Rosneft chief executive officer, at a forum in Verona in which he touched on the situation in the Middle East region after terrorist attacks on oil infrastructure in Saudi Arabia, we are forced to clarify our position", said Leontyev.

“Due to the current political situation in the region, Saudi Aramco, which is the most important oil supplier to the world market, found itself in a zone of serious risks. These risks must be taken into account, it's extremely important for the stability of the world oil market”, Leontiev explained to the media.

Earlier, the head of Rosneft, Igor Sechin, said that Saudi Arabia after the incident with drones was able to restore production in about a week, but this cost the country almost $ 2 billion. He also noted that, unlike the United States, Saudi Arabia and Russia are gradually losing the role of a regulator in the oil market.
