Arabian Post Staff -Dubai
Saudi Aramco reported a notable 15% decline in its third-quarter profit, dropping to $30.6 billion from $35.5 billion in the same period last year. This dip primarily reflects a challenging energy market characterized by lower crude oil prices and weaker refining margins, marking a sharp shift from the high revenue periods driven by last year’s energy crisis.
The oil giant’s revenues reached approximately $110 billion, down from $113 billion, a decrease in line with broader market conditions as Brent crude prices moderated. This price shift has dampened Aramco’s earnings compared to 2022, when energy markets saw historic highs amid global supply disruptions. Although this downturn is partly attributed to the natural easing of prices, the effects have been compounded by Aramco’s reduced sales volumes.
