I just found out about something happening in Abu Dhabi, and honestly, it’s quite serious. The largest natural gas processing plant in the United Arab Emirates has just suspended operations again, this time due to fragments from an attack that fell inside the Habshan complex.

To put it into context, Abu Dhabi National Oil Company operates this critical facility, and it’s not the first time it has been affected since the regional conflict began. What’s interesting is that Habshan not only processes gas but also serves as an important oil hub and the starting point of a pipeline that reaches Fujairah, a strategic port outside the Strait of Hormuz.

And what catches my attention is that this isn’t happening in isolation. Just a few hours ago, the Mina Al-Ahmadi refinery in Kuwait was also attacked, causing a fire. Additionally, a power and desalination plant was hit early Friday morning, damaging critical equipment.

Basically, we’re seeing a series of disruptions in the Gulf’s energy infrastructure. Abu Dhabi is a key player in the global oil and gas supply, so when its main facilities start experiencing repeated operational issues, it definitely impacts energy markets. Definitely something to keep on the radar if you’re following geopolitical movements and their effects on commodities.
