Over the third quarter (Q3) of the year, oil revenues reached SAR 108.44 billion, a decline of 39.76% when compared to SAR 180 billion in the same period a year earlier.

In the January-September period, the Gulf country’s exports of crude oil and petroleum products went down by 6.96% YoY to reach 2.12 billion barrels.

In the meantime, average daily oil exports decreased by 7.2% on an annual basis to 7.739 million barrels per day (b/d).
