The world's leading oil producer: The Saudi Arabian Oil Company (Saudi Aramco)
Saudi Aramco, owned by the Saudi Arabian Government, is a fully-integrated, global petroleum enterprise, and a world leader in exploration and producing, refining, distribution, shipping and marketing.
The company manages proven reserves of 260 billion barrels of oil (a quarter of the world's total), the largest to any company in the world, and manages the fourth-largest gas reserves in the world. Saudi Aramco owns and operates the world's second largest tanker fleet to help transport its crude oil production, which amounted to 3.15 billion barrels in 2004. In addition to its headquarters in Saudi Arabia's Eastern Province city of Dhahran, Saudi Aramco has affiliates, joint venture and subsidiary office in China, Egypt, Greece, Japan, Netherlands, Philippines, Republic of Korea, Singapore, United Arab Emirates, United Kingdom and United States. Saudi Aramco's chairman of the board of directors is His Excellency Ali I. Al-Naimi, Saudi Arabia's Minister of Petroleum and Mineral Resources. The company's president and CEO is Abdallah S. Jum'ah.
Saudi Aramco's operations span the globe and the energy industry. The world leader in crude oil production, Saudi Aramco also owns and operates an extensive network of refining and distribution facilities, and is responsible for the gas processing and transportation installations that fuel Saudi Arabia's industrial sector. An array of international subsidiaries and joint ventures, including one of the world's largest and newest fleet of supertankers, deliver crude oil and refined products to customers worldwide.
Exploration
Saudi Aramco succeeds by taking a systematic approach to exploration. All exploration studies done by its scientists are kept in libraries, even studies that had negative results. Exploratory wells that were unsuccessful in finding oil or gas, called dry holes, provide valuable information about conditions in the sedimentary rocks thousands of feet down. Oil is generally found in a new basin after a long search, which may take many years, so a systematic approach to exploration and good record keeping are extremely important. The science of oil exploration matured over the last century and is now very sophisticated. Exploration and development require computer specialists to operate the powerful computers necessary for processing, analyzing and mapping the vast stores of data collected.
Oil Operations
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.?
Gas Operations
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. Over the last decade, world gas consumption has grown 1.7% per year and is expected to accelerate at a rate of 3.2% per year over the next 20 years. Saudi Arabia discovered the merits of gas as a valuable resource in the 1970s, well before any other hydrocarbon-rich nation in the Middle East.?
Refining, Supply and Distribution
Saudi Aramco's responsibilities expanded greatly on July 1, 1993, when a Royal Decree merged into the company all of Saudi Arabia's state-owned oil refineries and distribution and marketing operations that were operated by the Petromin marketing and refining project known as Samarec. Under the same decree, Saudi Aramco assumed Petromin's 50-percent interests in three domestic joint-venture refineries. Saudi Aramco's new refining interests, combined with its Ras Tanura Refinery and its joint-venture and shareholder interests in five other refineries in the United States and the Far East, place the company in the top rank of world refiners.?
Shipping
Saudi Aramco sails one of the world's largest fleets of crude carriers and operates terminals which service more than 10 tankers per day.
Vela International Marine Limited
Vela International Marine Limited, a wholly owned subsidiary, was established in 1984 with four ships. It has grown to include 21 very large crude carriers (VLCCs) and seven product vessels. Vela, which transports crude oil to North America, Europe and Asia, has a history of commitment to accident-free voyages and quality maintenance. It has received ISO accreditation for its safe ship operations and environmental practices. In 2004, Vela completed compliance with the International Ship and Port Facility Security Code for its fleet of VLCCs.
Terminals
Saudi Aramco Terminals handle more than 9,000 tankers per year. These terminals are located at Ras Tanura and Ju'aymah on the Arabian Gulf coast and Jiddah, Rabigh, Jaizan, Yanbu' and Duba on the Red Sea coast. All tanker movements within Saudi Aramco terminals are conducted under the direction of highly trained harbor pilots with the assistance of powerful tugboats to safeguard company facilities and the environment. Since the beginning of Saudi Aramco Terminals at Ras Tanura in 1939, the company has committed itself to preventing oil spills. Saudi Aramco takes extensive measures to minimize the risk of spills its ships, marine terminals and visiting tankers. Terminal facilities are maintained to the highest standards, and stringent loading procedures are followed. ?
International Operations
Saudi Aramco has grown from essentially an exploration and production company prior to the 1990s to what it is today: an integrated global petroleum enterprise. The company not only markets and exports crude oil, petroleum products, natural gas liquids and sulfur -- it also ships crude oil worldwide through an affiliated company and participates in joint ventures at home and abroad to refine crude oil and market its products. ?
Technology and Innovation
Sophisticated oil exploration, production and utilization require oil companies worldwide to develop and employ the latest technologies. Saudi Aramco is a leader in utilizing and developing technologies that efficiently and effectively, yet safely, maximize the extraction and use of oil and gas. The company relies on its state-of-the-art electronic network and its extensive human network to keep it among the leaders in the oil and gas industries.
