ABU DHABI (Reuters) - The United Arab Emirates' energy minister said on Monday that his country has spare oil capacity to deal with possible supply disruptions after attacks on Saudi oil facilities this week but that it was too early to call for an emergency OPEC meeting.

“We have spare capacity, there are volumes we can deal with as an instant reaction,” Suhail al-Mazrouei told reporters in Abu Dhabi.
