Saudi Aramco plans to start exporting its first condensate cargo from the Jafurah gas plant in February

Saudi Arabian Oil Co. (Saudi Aramco) plans to start exporting its first condensate cargo from the Jafurah gas plant in February, Reuters reported, citing two sources.

One source said the company may ship 4–6 cargoes a month, each carrying about 500,000 barrels, though no firm timeline has been set. A second source said the condensates are being sold through private negotiations.

A third source noted that Aramco may provide samples to potential buyers by the end of this month.

According to data compiled by Argaam, Aramco’s 2026 budget shows that Phase 1 of the Jafurah gas plant will be completed with initial production of 450 million cubic feet per day. Output is expected to reach a sustainable 2 billion cubic feet per day once the full project is completed by 2030.
