Saudi Aramco evacuates Dhahran HQ after Houthi threats

Saudi Aramco has ordered employees to evacuate its Dhahran headquarters and work remotely following threats of further attacks by Iran-backed Houthi rebels, raising concerns about global energy supply security. The evacuation follows a series of strikes on Saudi Arabia, including a missile attack on the Dhahran complex on October 13 and a recent assault on King Fahd International Airport that killed two people. The United States has also withdrawn non-essential government personnel and families from the country. Aramco, valued at $1.64 trillion, reported 2025 revenues of $415.8 billion and net income of $92.8 billion. The Saudi state and its sovereign fund control 97.5% of the company, which produces 12.9 million barrels of oil equivalent daily.
