Saudi Aramco, the state oil production company of Saudi Arabia has more than doubled its net income in the third quarter ending September, beating the forecasts of analysts. The national oil company of the country has recorded a net income of US$30.4 billion, nearly ~158% higher than the previous corresponding period on the back of a robust oil rally.
The significant rise in the earnings of the company is primarily associated with a strong recovery in the demand for crude oil after an ease in pandemics and soaring fuel prices.
This is the best quarterly earnings for the oil giant since its listing in December 2019.
Huge earnings underpinned by a magnificent oil rally
