Fire Shuts Down Saudi Oil Refinery

A fire has shut down an oil refinery in Saudi Arabia.

The fire at the refinery, operated by Luberef - a Saudi Aramco and ExxonMobil joint venture - has been put out with no casualties reported.

The fire follows a gas pipeline explosion at Aramco's Hawiyah gas plant in eastern Saudi Arabia two weeks ago which killed more than 40 people.
