Saudi Aramco reports first-quarter profit surge
Saudi Aramco reported Q1 2024 profits of $33.6 billion, a 25-26% increase year-over-year, with revenue rising nearly 7% to $115.5 billion. The company attributed the profit jump to its east-west pipeline operating at maximum capacity of 7 million barrels per day, allowing it to bypass Strait of Hormuz disruptions caused by Middle East conflict. Global Brent crude prices rose to approximately $100 per barrel, about 40% higher than pre-conflict levels.
