going us is ellen wald, atlantic council global energy council senior fellow.at to have you today. if aramco can pay out $75 billion dividend after 2020, the year in which oil demand collapsed and we saw a price war between the saudis and the russians, can it survive anything? ellen: i think the answer may be that it can survive almost anything, and the truth is that aramco did take a hit this year, but everybody took a hit. everybody took a bad hit. if you compare aramco to some of the other big oil companies out there, all of those companies lost money this year. exxon lost a lot of money this year. for aramco to come out on top, even with less of a profit than they had been making, but still made a larger profit than any of these other oil companies, i think it shows that even when times are bad, aramco is still going to come out on top of these other companies. when your cost of producing oil is about $2.60, how can you not? i think the really big question here, and you mentioned this in what you were saying before, is where can they improve their situation
