Saudi Aramco reports first-quarter profit surge driven by pipeline bypass of Strait of Hormuz disruptions
Saudi Aramco reported Q1 profits of $33.6 billion, representing a 25-26% increase year-over-year, with revenue reaching $115.5 billion. The company credited its east-west pipeline, operating at maximum 7 million barrels per day capacity, for mitigating the impact of Strait of Hormuz closures caused by regional conflict. Global Brent crude prices have risen to approximately $100 per barrel, roughly 40% above pre-conflict levels.
