This dividend, up from 13.4 billion dollars for the same period of 2019, is paid despite global economic disruption and challenges facing the energy sector, Xinhua news agency quoted a company statement as saying on Sunday.

Nasser, president and CEO of the Saudi company, said Aramco will continue to pursue long-term growth and diversification strategy to capture unachieved and additional value from "every produced hydrocarbon molecule".

Saudi Aramco hit a record net income of $6.6 billion for the second quarter and $23.2 billion for the first half of 2020, compared to $24.7 billion and $46.9 billion in the corresponding periods of 2019.

Aramco also achieved its highest single-day crude oil production of 12.1 million barrels on April 2, the company said.
