TREE NEWS update: Saudi Aramco’s CEO said the company is continuing to export crude through Yanbu, Sidi Kerir and Port Said, and that it holds substantial inventory in the system to supply customers. He said Aramco will produce about 9 million barrels of oil equivalent per day of gas by 2040, and warned Brent could reach $200 a barrel without the East-West pipeline, noting physical crude has at times traded $20-50 a barrel above the Brent benchmark.
Aramco CEO: Exports Continue via Yanbu, Sidi Kerir and Port Said
The routing detail matters less than the framing: a major exporter is publicly stressing system inventory and alternative outlets, which reads as reassurance aimed at buyers pricing in disruption risk. The warning that physical crude has traded far above Brent points to a two-tier market where benchmark paper understates what refiners actually pay. The open question is whether these workarounds and inventories are sufficient to keep that physical premium from widening further.
