The Saudi Arabian Oil Company (Saudi Aramco) is the state-owned oil company of the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia. We rank first among oil companies worldwide in terms of crude oil production and exports, and natural gas liquids (NGL) exports, and are among the leading producers of natural gas. We are also among the world's leading refiners and are moving further downstream into chemicals production.
Saudi Aramco has stewardship over the world’s largest oil reserves — roughly one fifth of the global total — with crude and condensate reserves of 259.7 billion barrels.
We are a fully integrated petroleum company with operations in exploration, production, refining, petrochemicals marketing and international shipping.
Saudi Aramco employs more than 56,066 workers worldwide from 77 countries and has its headquarters in Dhahran in the Kingdom’s Eastern Province.
Our operations span the Kingdom, with production and product distribution facilities linking all market areas.
Major export shipping terminals are located at ports on the Arabian Gulf and Red Sea, while domestic demand for automotive and aviation products is met through strategic refineries.
Internationally, Saudi Aramco subsidiaries or affiliates hold significant interests in refining and marketing companies in the United States, the Republic of Korea, Japan and China.
We have key market support service offices in major cities in North America, Europe and Asia.
Our shipping subsidiary, Vela International Marine Limited, operates a sizeable fleet of supertankers and product vessels.
We are currently working on expanding our capability to discover, produce, process and transport natural gas for domestic energy, powering desalination plants and other industries, and as a vital feedstock for our growing petrochemical industry.
Our importance among world oil producers has steadily risen over our almost 80 years in operation.
Today, we are positioned to build upon our prominence as a stable supplier of hydrocarbon resources. And by producing petrochemical products, building export refineries and advancing the development of technologies that will result in cleaner fuels designed for the new generation of internal combustion engines, we will continue the work of enhancing lives while safeguarding the planet we all share.
