Saudi Aramco announced on Wednesday a malfunction in one of the pumps at the petroleum derivatives distribution station in Saudi Arabia’s southern region.

The state oil giant said its teams were working to fix the issue shortly.

“Our technical teams are working around the clock to fix the technical malfunction, as soon as possible, and provide the petroleum products that the Jazan region needs from the station, without interruption.”

It also said that supplies of petroleum products have gradually returned.

The failure occurred in one of the pumps at the petroleum derivatives distribution station in Jazan and led to a shortage in some petroleum derivatives at a number of fuel stations in the region.
