Oil prices are expected to jump as much as $10 per barrel after a coordinated drone strike hit Saudi Arabia's largest oil field, reportedly forcing the kingdom to cut its oil output in half.
Ten drones attacked one of Saudi Arabia's largest oilfields in Hijra Khurais and the world's biggest crude processing facility at Abqaiq on Saturday, reportedly causing a loss of almost five million barrels of crude production a day.
"If Abqaiq kills talks of easing sanctions and the discussion turns to retaliation and escalation, I think oil could easily trade higher by $10 or more," said Bob McNally, president at Rapidan Energy Group.Don Emmert | AFP | Getty Images "This is a big deal," said Andrew Lipow, president of Lipow Oil Associates. "Fearing the worst, I expect that the market will open up $5 to $10 per barrel on Sunday evening. This is 12 to 25 cents per gallon for gasoline."
