Aramco-Total JV SATORP swings to $1.2bn profit on strong first-half sales

RIYADH: SATORP, a joint venture between oil giant Aramco and France’s Total Oil Co., swung to profits of SR4.5 billion ($1.2 billion) in the first half of 2022.

It managed to erase losses of SR1.03 billion from the same period a year earlier as sales more than doubled to nearly SR40 billion, according to a bourse filing.

The firm attributed the positive results to improved refining and petrochemicals margins compared to a year earlier.

Formally known as Saudi Aramco Total Refining and Petrochemical Co., SATORP is 62.5 percent owned by Saudi Aramco and 37.5 percent owned by Total.
