Aramco chief executive Amin H. Nasser said the prolonged near-closure of the Strait of Hormuz had caused a major energy supply shock, with effects reaching freight, supply chains and the availability of essential goods. He also pointed to shortages of materials including aluminium, sulfur, helium and petrochemicals.

Nasser described Aramco’s resilience as a combination of global storage, spare capacity, multiple crude grades, domestic gas storage, shipping and local suppliers. He said the company was studying additional crude export routes and overseas storage. The remarks were a company executive’s assessment, not an independent market forecast.
