It is a major test for the kingdom's newly appointed energy minister Prince Abdulaziz bin Salman - a half-brother to the crown prince - as the attacks could dampen investor confidence in Aramco's upcoming two-stage stock market debut.
"If they can get production back online pretty quickly - or at least assure the markets they can - you might not see an enormous price spike," Rapier wrote for Forbes online. "All key facilities in the world are exposed to terrorism, so the point here for investors will be to judge Aramco on the speed of recovery from such attacks," said Ali Shihabi, founder of the now-shuttered pro-Saudi think-tank Arabia Foundation.The strikes are unlikely to derail the much-touted initial public offering , but it could undermine investor confidence in the mammoth listing that the government hopes will raise up to US$100 billion.
