Qatar News Agency reported his remarks at the opening of the 25th World Petroleum Congress in Riyadh on October 12. He said energy-system resilience should be measured not only by spare production capacity, pipelines or power generation, but also by the ability to maintain and repair infrastructure, reroute supplies, find alternatives and continue deliveries under pressure. The speech did not disclose a specific Saudi capacity or supply volume. ## Data ### Resilience capabilities cited in the speech Energy-system capabilities described by the Saudi energy minister on October 12.
