It will help them a little, but bear in mind they roughly sell $150bn

Of oil so if prices go up by 50% say, that would gain them $75bn

The war in Ukraine is said to have cost them $1bn a day so the above figure pales in comparison to insignificance. So to if you compare it to their gdp…it would be 3-4% of gdp.

Fag paper maths by me, but adds some context
