DK, you're calling out fake news and then you bring up building 7! There's a clear plausible explanation of why that building collapsed. If you choose to ignore that or want a more complicated dark explanation then you go for it. Why don't you read up about structural engineering and the design of the building?
Then you make up another conspiracy theory. Why would SA destroy 50% of their own production to increase the PoO by 20-100%. In the best case their they have the same revenue, plus plenty of repair work to do...oh and lost market share and the Aramco IPO shot to pieces. The law of logic must have changed for that to be true!
Also, to the oil bears here if OPEC wanted to pump more they could have done that before this incident. If they break up OPEC agreements then SA will just open all the taps as soon as they can and PoO will crash again...the reason for OPEC is to avoid that scenario (unless it's intentional). Of course OPEC could fill some of the gap temporarily but SA have said they I'll reserves.
