Saudi Aramco President and CEO Amin Nasser

Saudi Aramco’s first-quarter 2026 performance reflects strong resilience and operational flexibility in a complex geopolitical environment, said President and CEO Amin Nasser.

"Our East-West Pipeline, which reached its maximum capacity of 7.0 million barrels of oil per day, has proven itself to be a critical supply artery, helping to mitigate the impact of a global energy shock and providing relief to customers affected by shipping constraints in the Strait of Hormuz," he noted.

Nasser added that recent events have clearly demonstrated the vital contribution of oil and gas to energy security and the global economy, and are a stark reminder that reliable energy supply is critical.

“Despite these headwinds, Aramco remains focused on its strategic priorities and is leveraging both its domestic infrastructure and its global network to navigate disruption," he noted.

The oil giant's Q1 2026 net earnings rose 26% to SAR 120.13 billion compared with a year earlier, according to Argaam data.
