Saudi oil producer Aramco has finalised the selling of 49% of stakes in its pipelines to a consortium led by U.S.-based EIG Global Energy Partners. The $12.4 billion deal is the company’s largest since its $29.4 billion initial public offering in 2019. Aramco will retain a 51% stake in the new company, as well as operational control of the pipeline, while assuming operational risk and capital expense risk in their entirety.
