Critical Dependencies
The world's largest oil producer and Saudi Arabia's state-controlled national oil company, distinct from its digital/AI subsidiary Aramco Digital. Q2 2026 adjusted net income jumped 33% year-over-year to $33.4 billion as the Iran war pushed crude prices to roughly $108/barrel (up over 60% year-over-year), even as total hydrocarbon production fell by about a quarter during the quarter; Aramco relied on its 1,200-kilometer East-West pipeline to maintain export volumes at a 7 million barrel/day ceiling while the Strait of Hormuz remained effectively closed, highlighting both the scale of its logistics infrastructure and its exposure to regional conflict risk.
