🔶 Aramco ordered its employees to work remotely and evacuate the company's headquarters in Dhahran.
The Reuters news agency, citing six knowledgeable sources, reported on Thursday, October 22, that the Saudi Aramco company ordered its employees to vacate the company's headquarters in Dhahran and work remotely. That company did not respond to this news agency's request for comment on this matter.
In this context, Amin Nasser, CEO of Aramco, told Al-Arabiya Business TV channel on Thursday, Saudi Arabia and Aramco seek cooperation with other countries to expand their strategic reserves. According to him, Saudi officials predict that the demand for oil will increase to 3 million barrels per day after the Iran war.
Nasser previously said Aramco's response to incidents is six times faster than the oil industry average, and Saudi oil output returned to around 8 million barrels per day in September. According to the International Energy Agency, Saudi Arabia's daily oil output, which was more than 10 million barrels before the war, fell to less than 7 million barrels during most of the first six months of the war.
