It would not surprise me if the oil cartels and people with vested interest are paying some poor schmucks to attempt to bomb their own compaies.
Here is some supporting evidence.

ABQAIQ, Saudi Arabia - Suicide bombers in explosives-laden cars attacked the world's largest oil processing facility Friday, but were prevented from breaking through the gates when guards opened fire on them, causing the vehicles to explode, officials said.
The Saudi oil minister said the blast "did not affect operations" at the Abqaiq facility, denying an earlier report on Al-Arabiya television that the flow of oil was halted briefly after a pipeline was damaged.
The facility "continued to operate normally. Export operations continued in full," the minister, Ali Naimi, said in a statement.
The price of oil jumped by more than $1.20 on world markets as they heard of the attack. The April delivery price of Nymex sweet light crude, the U.S. benchmark, rose $1.26 to $61.80. The European benchmark, Brent crude, leaped $1.21 to $61.75 for April delivery.

Coincidence? I think not.
