Oil Operations Overview

Saudi Aramco's oil operations encompass the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, including territorial waters in the Arabian Gulf and the Red Sea. Totaling more than 1.5 million square kilometers, this area is larger than the combined areas of Texas, California, Oklahoma and Utah, or of France, Spain and Germany. Most production comes from fields in the coastal plains of the Eastern Province in an area extending 300 kilometers north and south of Dhahran.

Reserves of conventional crude oil in company-managed fields total about 259.9 billion barrels. In 2009, Saudi Aramco completed a multi-year, multiple mega-project program and raised its maximum sustainable crude oil production capacity to 12 million barrels per day.
