Qatar halted production of liquefied natural gas - while its government said an energy facility was attacked by two Iranian drones.
Meanwhile, Iraqi Kurdistan suspended most oil production and several major Israeli gas fields shut, throttling exports to Egypt.
It's prompted concerns about supply disruptions, sending oil prices surging around 13% on Monday, the highest since January 2025.
At state oil giant Saudi Aramco's refinery, the source said, the situation was under control, with debris from two intercepted drones causing a limited fire.

The shutdown will likely add to supply anxieties.
That's after shipping through the Strait of Hormuz, through which around a fifth of global oil consumption flows, is at a near-halt following Sunday attacks on vessels.

And in Iraqi Kurdistan, companies including DNO and Gulf Keystone Petroleum have stopped output.
200,000 barrels of oil per day are usually exported via pipeline.
Despite the halt in operations, no damage has been reported.

Offshore Israel, the Israeli government instructed Chevron to temporarily shut down the giant Leviathan gas field - but a spokesperson said facilities were safe.
These precautionary measures came after explosions were heard on Saturday in Iran's Kharg Island, which processes 90% of Iran's crude exports.
It's unclear how the facilities were affected.
Iran, the third largest producer in the Organization of the Petroleum Exporting Countries, pumps about 4.5% of global oil supplies.
