Saudi Aramco to reach pre-conflict production levels in days with Hormuz reopening


08/05/2026

Should the conditions in the Strait of Hormuz stabilize, Saudi Aramco may resume production levels to those seen before the conflict in just a few days, stated company CEO Amin Nasser during a conference call with analysts.



"We can achieve pre-conflict production levels within a matter of days. We can achieve maximum production capacity—12 million barrels per day—within three weeks if requested," he said.

As stated in the company's report, Saudi Aramco's hydrocarbon output in the second quarter decreased to 9.463 million barrels of oil equivalent daily, down from 12.78 million barrels from the previous year due to the ongoing conflict in the Middle East.

The company had earlier indicated that it anticipated a rise in oil demand in the upcoming years.
