Saudi Aramco Q3 profit falls 23% on lower crude oil prices, volumes
- Energy giant Saudi Aramco reported a 23% drop in profits for the third quarter due to lower oil prices and production cuts. The company's profits fell from $42.43 billion to $32.58 billion, reflecting the impact of reduced crude oil prices and volumes sold.
- The drop in profits is expected to have a significant impact on Saudi Arabia's GDP, which contracted by 4.5% in the third quarter. Oil activities were down 17.3%, while non-oil activities grew by 3.6%. Aramco's production constraints and limited exports are contributing to the overall economic slowdown.
- To prop up prices, Saudi Arabia has implemented production cuts, including a voluntary cut of one million barrels per day, which will continue through December. However, analysts believe that violence and political tensions in the region could threaten oil supply, potentially causing containment to unravel quickly.
