We do so much more than provide energy to the world. We also grow new businesses, fuel the economy and drive innovation. Find out more
Our commitment to remain the world leader in the production of petroleum-based energy is complemented by our commitment to help solve a host of pressing issues. We believe we can make a difference wherever we do business by investing in innovation and entrepreneurship, creating educational opportunities, powering economic progress, increasing environmental awareness, and working in partnership for energy sustainability.
The world’s need for energy is growing, but so too is our ability to meet that demand. Our teams have been discovering new and better ways of delivering petroleum energy since 1933. Find out more about our leadership, our history and the people who make us the world’s leading integrated petroleum enterprise.
The Kingdom of Saudi Arabia is endowed with two major fossil fuel sources, crude oil and natural gas. Worldwide, gas is the fastest growing energy source.
The worldwide demand for gas is driven by the power and industrial sectors due to its smaller environmental footprint as an energy source.
Reserves of natural gas in company-managed fields total 284.8 trillion cubic feet.
In the company’s overall gas operations, natural gas is processed to produce clean fuel (methane, or sales gas) and feedstock (methane, ethane, propane, butane and natural gasoline).
Methane and ethane are consumed entirely by the Kingdom’s utilities and industry. Excess propane, butane and natural gasoline (also known as natural gas liquids, or NGL) that are not used by the domestic petrochemicals industry are exported to world markets.
In 2011, we earned international recognition from the International Gas Processors Association (IGPA) and the U.S. National Safety Council (NSC) for outstanding safety performance in 2010.
The IGPA awarded the Perfect Record Award to several Saudi Aramco gas plants including the Ju'aymah and Yanbu' NGL fractionation plants, and the Haradh, Shedgum, 'Uthmaniyah, Hawiyah and Khursaniyah gas plants.
In 2011, we developed a new technology called Online Predictive Model for the Master Gas System that provides real-time data to improve the decision-making process and optimize network performance under varying operational scenarios. It enables us to determine the survival time of the network under current operating conditions and allows us to simulate hypothetical operating scenarios and predictions for survival time in the event of a major gas plant shutdown.
