Saudi Aramco Extends Suspension of LPG Exports Through May Due to Facility Damage

Saudi Aramco has extended the suspension of its liquefied petroleum gas (LPG) exports through May due to damage at its Juaymah export facility sustained in late February. The damage, combined with regional conflicts affecting the Strait of Hormuz, has disrupted LPG supplies, causing shortages and price increases, particularly impacting Asian markets such as India. Aramco has indicated that repairs have not yet been possible, delaying the resumption of shipments despite potential reopening of export routes.
