Saudi Aramco Creates New Gas Division Amid Global Energy Expansion Plans

Saudi Aramco is planning to create a new gas division as part of its business reorganization, according to Reuters. The proposed gas division would focus on developing domestic natural-gas resources and building a liquefied natural gas portfolio abroad.

The report stated that the gas division would stand alongside Aramco's upstream and downstream divisions. This move is seen as a significant step in the company's efforts to expand its presence in the global energy market.

Asharq Al-Awsat reported on September 24, 2026, that President and CEO Amin Nasser mentioned studying additional crude-export routes and expanding overseas storage capacity, including in Japan. However, it is unclear whether these plans are related to the new gas division.
