Houthi attacks on Saudi Arabia ignite fires at oil facilities and wound 73 people
Attacks caused fires at Saudi oil facilities, creating a disruption risk for crude oil production and related petroleum supply.

How it reaches your house.
Starting from Saudi Aramco, we walked the supply graph hop by hop to the goods you buy and the companies you own. Each step is the engine’s reasoning, scored for confidence and cited where a source backs it.
First impact
Crude Oil Feedstock →Shortage riskCrude oil feedstock is a critical, fully dependent input to gasoline and diesel, so a crude production disruption can tighten their supply.
95% confidenceCrude Oil Feedstock →Shortage riskHome heating oil also depends critically on crude oil feedstock, so upstream crude disruption can make it scarcer.
94% confidenceSaudi Aramco →Shortage riskFires and a temporary halt to some operations at Saudi Aramco facilities directly constrain crude oil output, and this edge represents a material 6% supply share with only moderate substitutability and a 3-month replacement lead time.
Hop 2
Home heating oil →Shortage riskHome heating oil is entirely dependent on crude oil feedstock, so Saudi crude disruptions directly tighten this critical input and pressure heating-oil supply.
96% confidenceSaudi Arabia →Shortage riskRefining disruption in Saudi Arabia can tighten marine fuel supply, and Saudi accounts for 11.96% of this input's supply.
78% confidenceSaudi Arabia →Shortage riskDiesel and Heavy Fuel Oil (underground mining and backup power)
Hop 3
Bitumen / Asphalt Binder →Shortage riskBitumen/asphalt binder is a critical, near-one-for-one input to asphalt and paving materials, so a supply shock should quickly constrain downstream output.
96% confidenceMixed Natural Gas Liquids (NGL Stream) →Shortage riskMixed NGL stream is a critical input to home-use propane, so a Saudi-linked disruption tightens propane availability materially.
94% confidenceMarine Diesel and Bunker Fuel →Prices rise
