In short: Passing mention — the Saudi state oil giant declined to comment on reports that a pipeline damaged in last week's attack led the kingdom to cancel planned shipments to European refiners. No view on the stock.
In short: The Saudi national oil company, named only in the photo caption ("A Saudi Aramco oil refinery") but at the centre of the story: Saudi Arabia shut its East-West pipeline — the route that diverts 7 mb/d around Hormuz and feeds up to 5 mb/d of Red Sea exports — after projectiles hit a pumping station. Two-sided: the export bypass is now shown to be vulnerable, while the article says prices "are almost certain to stay high" (Brent $109.23). Damage extent undisclosed.
Saudi Aramco is Saudi Arabia's state oil company — the largest oil producer in the world — and the kingdom's oil exports are, in practice, its exports. Since the Iran war made the Strait of Hormuz dangerous, Saudi Arabia has leaned on a pipeline that carries oil across the country to the Red Sea: it can move about 7 million barrels a day that way and ship up to 5 million from the Red Sea terminal. That pipeline's pumping station was hit by projectiles, and the country shut it down.
This cuts both ways for the company. The bad side is volume and risk: the escape route that let Saudi oil avoid Hormuz is now shown to be a target itself, and nobody yet knows how badly it was damaged. The good side is price: the article's conclusion is that oil prices "are almost certain to stay high," and Brent jumped to $109 — every barrel Aramco can still get out is worth more. Which side wins depends on the one number the Saudis have not published, the size and duration of the outage.
The article names Aramco only in a photo caption, so this is an inference from the story's subject, not a stated view on the shares. The row is the Riyadh (Tadawul) listing.
In short: Not a stock view: the other half of the pair — "It was Amin Nasser, the CEO of Aramco, and it was Chris Wright" who "defended themselves and their companies using normal human English and language." "Amin Nasser did it and I have a lot of respect for those folks. It's why I started Super-Spiked in the first place."
Also not a stock view. Aramco's CEO Amin Nasser is the other executive Murti credits with publicly defending the industry in "normal human English" while everyone else hid behind ESG disclosure — most memorably by telling energy conferences that the transition plan as written was failing and that the world should say so.
For a research hub the useful takeaway is what Murti is measuring: he treats a management team's willingness to state its own case clearly as a signal about the quality of the team, distinct from the reserves and the returns. "I have a lot of respect for those folks" is, in his framework, a governance observation.
1:14:35Let's go with the flow. Chris did it. Amin Nasser did it and I have a lot of respect for those folks. It's why I started Super-Spiked in the first place. So I am critical of the industry for not defending itself during the most dramatic moments of net zero and that's around the world. That includes US CEOs, includes Canadian CEOs, includes Western European CEOs totally caved to the absurd "we're going to transition our companies" type strategies.
In short: Informational — he reads Aramco's Q2 report as the authoritative supply-shock tally, not as a stock call: the US-Iran conflict "continues to aggravate the biggest ever energy supply shock in history, removing an average of 11 million barrels per day," inventories "need to be rebuilt from critically low levels," the world "lost over 2.6 billion barrels" (net ~1.8 billion after bypasses and SPR releases), and "if the Strait of Hormuz was to open today, it would take up to 18 months at 2.1 million barrels per day to replenish depleted inventories on top of demand."
Aramco is the Saudi state oil company, listed in Riyadh since 2019 — which, as Polomny notes, means it now has to publish results like any public company. He isn't taking a view on the stock; he's using its quarterly report as the most credible tally of how much oil the war has actually removed.
The numbers are stark. Roughly 11 million barrels a day of supply gone — over a tenth of world consumption. The gap was papered over by draining about 9 million barrels a day from strategic and commercial storage and by roughly 2 million barrels a day of demand being rationed. Cumulatively, more than 2.6 billion barrels never reached the food, semiconductor, transport and chemical industries that needed them; bypass pipelines and reserve releases cut the net loss to about 1.8 billion. And the restocking arithmetic is the part that matters for prices: even if the Strait of Hormuz reopened today, it would take roughly 18 months of pumping an extra 2.1 million barrels a day just to refill the tanks — on top of normal demand. That is why he is bullish oil companies rather than waiting for a ceasefire headline.
38:39This is from its Q2. Remember, it's a publicly traded company now. From its Q2 report, it says the prolonged US-Iran conflict continues to aggravate the biggest ever energy supply shock in history, removing an average of 11 million barrels per day of liquid supply. The release of inventories have now been largely deployed and are not only more difficult to be maintained, now need to be rebuilt from critically low levels.
