Saudi Aramco profits soar in second quarter as Iran war squeezes oil supply
The company said higher oil prices and rerouted exports offset disruptions, while adjusted net income topped analyst forecasts by about $2.2 billion.
- Saudi Aramco reported a 33% increase in second-quarter profit to $33.4 billion, exceeding the combined earnings of ExxonMobil Holdings Corp. and Chevron Corp. amid a war-driven surge in oil prices.
- Executive Officer Amin Nasser confirmed that July attacks on assets caused no material operational impact, with Aramco maintaining full production capacity of 12 million barrels a day.
- Since the Iran war began, Aramco has diverted significant export volumes to the western port of Yanbu due to persistent disruptions at the Strait of Hormuz.

- Aramco is exploring infrastructure upgrades, including potentially enlarging the east-west pipeline, to ensure the company remains ready for future export requirements.
