Aramco profits surge as east-west pipeline cushions Gulf disruption

Saudi Aramco posted a 26% rise in Q1 net profit to $33.6 billion on revenue of $115.5 billion, aided by its east–west pipeline that can move up to 7 million barrels per day and bypass disruptions through the Strait of Hormuz. The conflict has kept oil prices elevated near $100 a barrel, while Aramco maintained a quarterly dividend of $21.9 billion. Company CEO Amin Nasser warned that even if Hormuz reopens, it could take months for markets to rebalance, with a risk of longer disruption potentially pushing normalization to 2027.

The ministry credits Aramco and the energy sector’s resilience, amid broader disruption to Strait of Hormuz shipping and ongoing US-Iran tensions.

Saudi East-West Pipeline Goes Live to Bypass Hormuz

Saudi Aramco is ramping up crude flows through the 750-mile East-West pipeline from Abqaiq on the Gulf to Yanbu on the Red Sea, aiming for seven million barrels per day to bypass the Strait of Hormuz as tensions with Iran threaten market access; the pipeline helps mitigate supply gaps but is not a fail-safe due to Yanbu's export capacity and ongoing security risks, with global prices fluctuating on the conflict's length and potential disruptions.
