#oil people: 'how do you mean "turn it back on?" let me make my sophistry ass calculation of a two phase flow through a porous medium, then i can eventually tell you when it will be "back on" (if geology doesn't hate me).'

RE: https://discuss.systems/@kali/116366832718648198

problems you do not have with a fucking solar panel. ijs. #renewables #energycrisis

if you are into this kind of stuff.

tldr; : basically the flow to an oil well is to a little extend engineered, a dynamic flow regime underground. when you stop that it all comes to a halt. now. as far as i understand it, after settling, water and oil behave very different on restart than they have in that somewhat engineered flow […]

also this has been rumored as a problem by the usual suspect. idk. i mean i trust the GCC to know how to restart an oil field? but it could take time.

* Article * 0 Comments Dozens of refineries, oil fields, gas plants, ports and other energy infrastructure have been damaged by missile and drone strikes, five weeks into the Iran war. US President Donald Trump threatened to bring “Hell” to Iran with strikes on power plants and other infrastructure if the Strait of Hormuz was not reopened. Tehran rejected the demands, and continued attacks across the region. A huge petrochemicals plant in the United Arab Emirates was halted, while Kuwait’s oil sector came under a fresh barrage of strikes. Here is a list of some of the Middle East’s most important energy facilities that have been hit or disrupted during the conflict. Some facilities have restarted after being temporarily shut, but the operational status of other sites remains unclear. **Oil Refineries:** * **Ruwais** , UAE: One of the biggest refineries in the world suffered multiple fires caused by falling debris from air-defense interception, Abu Dhabi’s government said April 5. * **Ras Tanura** , Saudi Arabia: Saudi Aramco temporarily halted operations at the kingdom’s largest crude processing plant — with 550,000 barrels a day of capacity — after a drone attack in the first few days of the war. The facility has since been restarted. * **Samref** , Saudi Arabia: A drone fell on the refinery that’s half owned by Exxon Mobil Corp. on March 19. * **Bapco Energies** , Bahrain: The 400,000 barrel-a-day plant was damaged in an attack last month and declared force majeure on operations that had been impacted. * **Gulf Petrochemical Industries Co.** , Bahrain: Some operational units caught fire after drone attacks April 5. * **Kuwait National Petroleum Co.** and **Petrochemical Industries Co.** facilities suffered significant damage as emergency and fire response teams worked to contain conflagrations at several sites, KPC said April 5. Those attacks followed hits on KPC’s headquarters. * **Mina Al-Ahmadi** , Kuwait: A drone attack caused fire in a number of operational units on April 3. The refinery suffered had also been hit on two consecutive days last month that had shut some units. * **Mina Abdullah** , Kuwait: A fire at the plant was extinguished following a March 19 attack. * **Lanaz** , Iraq: Operations were suspended at the plant in the northern city of Erbil last month after a fire caused by a drone strike, Reuters reported, citing unidentified provincial officials. **Gas Facilities** * **Ras Laffan** , Qatar: QatarEnergy said LNG facilities were hit by Iranian missiles, triggering fires that caused extensive damage, including to Shell Plc’s gas-to-liquids plant. QatarEnergy has declared force majeure on some long-term supply contracts. * **Habshan** , UAE: Abu Dhabi suspended operations at the country’s largest natural gas processing facility on Friday following an attack that sparked a fire. * **South Pars** , Iran: Israel attacked facilities at Iran’s giant gas field March 18, with fires causing some units to be taken out of production, according to the semi-official Tasnim news agency. * **Isfahan** , Iran: A gas pressure-regulation station and an associated administrative building were targeted this week in central Isfahan province in recent US–Israeli attacks, the semi-official Fars news agency reported. * **Shah** , UAE: Operations were suspended after an Iranian drone attack on March 16 caused a fire at the massive natural gas field. * **Das Island LNG** , UAE: Abu Dhabi plant in the Persian Gulf were operating at low levels due to inability to export via the Strait of Hormuz. **Oil Fields** * **Majnoon** , Iraq: The oil field in the south of the country was targeted by an attack, according to a statement from Iraq’s Oil Ministry, which didn’t provide any additional details. * **Shaybah** , Saudi Arabia: The 1 million barrel-a-day field in the kingdom’s east has been repeatedly targeted by multiple drones. No damage has been reported. **Nuclear Plants** * **Bushehr** , Iran: A projectile struck the grounds of the Bushehr nuclear power plant March 27, Iran’s Fars news agency reported, adding preliminary assessments indicated no damage to any section of the facility. The plant had also come under attack previously. **Aluminum Plants** * **Al Taweelah** , UAE: Emirates Global Aluminium said March 28 that it sustained “significant damage” at its site at the Khalifa Port industrial zone in Abu Dhabi following Iranian attacks. * **Alba** , Bahrain: Aluminium Bahrain said it was assessing the extent of damage to its facility after an Iranian attack. * **Mobarakeh** , Iran: Mobarakeh Steel Co. completely halted production after attacks caused damage and destroyed key units, Iran’s state-run Nour News reported April 2, citing a company statement. **Ports** * **Yanbu** , Saudi Arabia: Loadings at the key Red Sea port resumed March 19 after a brief halt, following an Iranian attack. The facility has become crucial as the kingdom races to boost exports following the near standstill in the Strait of Hormuz. * **Fujairah** , UAE: The critical Emirati port outside Hormuz has been periodically shut by drone strikes, impacting flows of both crude and fuels. * **Jebel Ali** , UAE: DP World has previously suspended operations at the key container port in Dubai as a precautionary measure. * **Khor Fakkan** , UAE: Debris caused by air defense interception fell on the port on April 5, causing a fire that authorities brought under control. * **Sohar** , Oman: the port has resumed operations after being shut after the area was hit by drones. * **Mina Al Fahal** , Oman: Crude export terminal resumed operations on March 12 after being closed as a precautionary measure. * **Salalah** , Oman: The port suspended operations after an attack March 28, according to Inchcape Shipping Services. Oman said it was investigating the source and motive of the strike as no one claimed the attack. The facility has also previously been hit. * **Khalifa Bin Salman** , Bahrain: Maersk’s APM Terminals unit said March 12 it suspended operations at the port. * **Shahid Haghani** , Iran: US-Israeli strikes targeted the port in the southern city of Bandar Abbas, near the Strait of Hormuz, the semi-official Tasnim news agency reported on April 1. _Photograph: An oil refinery in Ras Tanura, Saudi Arabia. photo credit: Simon Dawson/Bloomberg_ Copyright 2026 Bloomberg.

not even thinking about the insurance premiums and the toll fees for passing #hormuz, the demand and investment destruction, the volatility being priced in and all that long-term destabilization. they have a hard time even estimating that.

also it might come out in the next days what structural damage has been done to the #oil infrastructure in the ME. that will be pretty interesting to see. how much capacity has been reduced for how long.

this is a good example of how a large stock in a #system always represents a delay. the tanks are filled with 120$ for now. it takes time for that stock to empty. and they are unlikely to joyfully refine that oil into a falling market. mean […]

refiners are pretty f'ed now. bought that stuff at 110$ , now have to sell their finished product. and you will never guess who's gonna pay for the discrepancy.

imagine you traveled back in time and told a dude like king cyrus that 2500 years later human rights are still a thing of dispute. somewhat depressing.

the woodies in the tree are also back. already inspected me this mourning.

it is so cool to befriend random wild birds. i could do this all day every day.

i just petted the black female on the nest for about 10 minutes and she didn't slap me once :).

#FeralPigeon

@ketanjoshi.co maybe #journalist should try this thing. i think it is called "sleep". for a change.

WOW. this must be the single most stupid thing anyone said in this entire conflict, trump's stuff included. you #journalists should have a break and touch grass. serious recommendation now.

#USpol #iran #media #journalism

don't think that us europeans, who can't even agree on a common electric plug standard, will come to the rescue. that is just not a thing.

#uspol #trump #iran

@parkermolloy.com how, exactly?

The same geniuses who think Trump, who dodged the draft five times, knows how to win a war also think Trump, who declared
bankruptcy six times, knows how to run the economy.
That's what Trump Derangement
Syndrome actually looks like.

if #trump had a ground invasion in the making, which probably has tens of thousands of military personnel involved, don't you think we would know by now?
