Attacks caused a Saudi pipeline to be paralyzed as a precaution. The pipeline in question served as an alternative route to the Strait of Hormuz, one of the most important sea lanes for oil transport in the world.
Through this pipeline passed up to six million barrels of oil per day, which represents approximately 5% of all world oil production.
The paralysis occurred as a security measure after the attacks, temporarily preventing the flow of oil through the alternative route.
The attack directly affects global energy markets and may influence oil prices worldwide, including in Brazil, which imports derivatives. The paralysis of the pipeline as an alternative to the Strait of Hormuz aggravates geopolitical tensions in the Persian Gulf region, with potential impact on energy import costs.
