Saudi Aramco has notified some long-term customers in Asia that it will stop supplying propane in the first half of 2027 due to maintenance. A source familiar with the matter, who asked not to be named, revealed that the company will continue to supply butane. Saudi Aramco's move will require importers not only to purchase Saudi butane separately, but also to purchase propane from other sources to maintain the original ratio. Both the difficulty and cost of procurement may increase.
