Saudi buys gasoline from an Indian company

Saudi Arabia, the giant oil producer in the Middle East has bought 30,000 tons of Gasoline from an Indian Reliance Industries (RIL) company, as part of a contingency plan to deal with likely shortages in committed transport-fuel supplies, Indian sources announced.

Iran Press/Asia: Immediately after attacks on ARAMCO's two oil facilities on September 14, the oil company bought petroleum products such as gasoline, plane fuel, as well as petrochemical products, an Indian source said who wanted to be anonymous, Economic Times reported.

The attacks cut supplies by about 5.7 million barrels per day, amounting to more than half of Saudi ARAMCO’s production. RIL buys a significant share of its crude oil supplies from the Saudi company and has also been selling refined products like gasoline to the company.

“RIL received an order two days after the attack, with a request to supply at the earliest because ARAMCO wanted to ensure its supplies are not disrupted,” an industry source told Economic Times.

Yemeni Army and Popular Forces targeted two Aramco oil facilities in eastern Saudi Arabia using drones, in retaliation for the Saudi regime's continuous aggression on the impoverished country.

Backed by the United States, the Saudi regime and some of its Arab allies invaded Yemen in 2015 and have enforced a strict blockade of the country by ground, air, and sea ever since.  101/211/204
