We report with just one agenda: the truth.
Saudi Aramco has been under pressure to raise its output of crude oil as Russia’s invasion of Ukraine and subsequent sanctions against Moscow have wreaked havoc with global energy markets.
Saudi Aramco first became the most valuable publicly listed company when it debuted on the market with an IPO, or initial public offering, in 2019; Apple overtook the oil and gas company in July 2020.
