Saudi Aramco’s net profit for the second quarter of 2025 fell by about 20-22% compared to the same period last year, dropping to $22.7 billion from $29.1 billion. This decline was primarily due to lower crude oil prices, with Aramco’s average realized oil price falling to $66.7 per barrel in Q2 2025, down from $85.7 per barrel in Q2 2024. The company also faced increased operating costs which contributed to the profit reduction.

Despite lower profits, Aramco maintained robust cash flow with free cash flow of $15.2 billion in Q2. The company continued with consistent shareholder dividend payouts amounting to $21.1 billion for the quarter. Operationally, Aramco achieved 100% supply reliability and continued advancing key upstream projects including developments at Berri, Marjan, Zuluf, and the Dammam gas project.
