Saudi Aramco Plans Major Asset Sales
Saudi Aramco, the world's biggest oil exporter, is thinking about selling some of its assets to raise a lot of money.
They might sell parts of their oil storage and export terminals, as well as some of their buildings.
This could bring in more than $10 billion.
They are talking to banks and investors about this.
The company wants to use the money to keep investing in big projects, like the Jafurah gas project.
Oil prices have gone down a bit this year, so selling these assets could help them have more money for other important things.
The sales might start happening early next year.
Saudi Aramco is considering selling assets worth over $10 billion, including oil export and storage terminals and part of its real estate portfolio.
The company is exploring options like raising fresh equity or structuring deals similar to its recent $11 billion lease transaction with BlackRock Inc.'s Global Infrastructure Partners.
Key assets are located in Ras Tanura (Persian Gulf), the Red Sea, the Netherlands, Egypt, and Japan.
The sales process could start as early as next year, with discussions currently in the early stages.
Aramco aims to free up cash for investments and support the kingdom's economic revamp, as oil prices have dropped by roughly a fifth this year.
